This doll was made by a Maliseet or Mi’kmaq person, possibly for the tourist trade in Maine or Eastern Canada. Note that it has no face.  A story among many Eastern Woodlands Indigenous peoples tells that Corn Spirit created the corhusk doll for children to enjoy. Originally, it had a face, but when the doll became vain about her beauty and her great ability to bring joy to children, her face was taken away. Now, faceless cornhusk dolls remind their owners not to dwell on their looks, but to concentrate instead on doing good for others.
