No Face Dolls are not idols, kachinas or toys; they are teachers recording the history of a culture, it's morals and traditions. Tradition of the culture is kept through oral teaching. No face indicates an overall message of vanity - what is in the heart is more important than what is seen on the surface. Individually, each doll has another lesson. Each doll is signed and numbered on the bottom and comes with a certificate.
Many nations of the First People have used faceless dolls for thousands of years. Some of the better known are the leather and bead dolls of the Sioux, the cloth dolls of the Navajo and the corn husk dolls of the Iroquois.
Grandparents were Indian and I am proud of it. Because records were lost, I must state here that these dolls are a non Native American craft.
