UNKNOWN TRIBAL HELMET - HELP WITH ID

It is certainly interesting, but honestly it does not look all that old. Not made yesterday, but i would stop short of describing it as "early colonial". The leather looks in pretty good shape, i don't see much staining on the inside that i would expect to see from wear and there isn't too much balding of the fur on the outside of the helmet. I would guess this is from the second half of the 20th century at best.
