Corncob dolls (also referred to as cornhusk dolls) have been crafted by Northeastern Native Americans for more than a thousand years, since the beginning of the agriculture of corn. If you would like to know how they are made, I can provide you with another answer. Cornhusk dolls have been used for a variety of reasons. When the dolls were created for healing or to represent a dream, a doll was made in response to the particular dream or the type of healing ceremony it would be used for. The doll was then put back in the earth to cleanse away the bad dream or to assist in the healing ceremony. The dolls' faces were left blank and the meaning of that is widely discussed and disputed amongst the community. I hope my answer was satisfactory.
