The False Face Society was a society when someone was sick and they had a dream of a false face (or a monster of some sort) the False Face Society would come into the cabin in which the sick person would live and perform a ritual with their false faced masks and then the sick person would become part of the society and would have to carve the face they saw in their dream on the tree and while they were carving someone would chant a ritual and when they were done they would take it off the tree and make it into a mask.
