Beautiful!

Small one is a true arrowhead. Other is a perforator that might of been a point at one time

nice small point.

Those are what I would call totally exhausted points.

Agreed. The perferator has been worked way down. The other looks original to me. More pics from different angles would help.

My initial thought was that the width to length ratio was unusual. I too immediately thought that the bird points were the result of being reworked many times after being used.
One possibly being repurposed as a hafted perforator.

I believe that is what was meant by saying “exhausted points”.

Great finds. Is that material difficult to obtain in your area? Were the tribes “poor”? Those are a couple things that I would think would cause someone to rework points multiple times rather than just discarding.
