InscriptionOnoya'giyada'/(IROQUOIS CORN HUSK DOLL)/For centuries the Iroquois Child has played with dolls made from corn husks, some dressed some plain./Traditionally, play dolls were made without faces, thereby encouraging the child's imagination./After the intrusion of the European, the heads were sometimes made of dried apples with finger-pinched, molded features. The newcomers, in turn, adopted husk dolls and made them for their children./Made by Ga'hawe/"Carrying Doll"/Nation Mohawk/woman/Clan Turtle
