Corn Husk Doll Making and Storytelling
In this video, I tell the story of why the corn husk doll has no face while making one of these beautiful dolls. There are a lot of implied messages that address our Haudenosaunee culture within the story of the corn husk doll. This story reminds us of our family and community responsibilities. We all need to find ways we can help others in our community. No one person is better than anyone else. We each have a role to play to keep our communities strong.
In addition to the foods we grow at our home, we are also part of Ohe∙láku (among the cornstalks), a co-operative of Oneida families growing corn together. Ohe∙láku is partnering with Tetwatunhatenyehse (we are changing our lives), a group dedicated to re-establishing traditional cultural teachings of rites of passage to help prepare our young ukwehuwe men and women for their transition into adulthood. This video, and future videos will help Ukwakwa, Ohe∙láku, and Tetwatunhatenyehse share what we have learned about taking care of our food relatives. A special thank you to Native American Agriculture Fund and Oneida Falling Leaves 4H program for providing funding and support for the Ohe∙láku and Tetwatunhatenyehse youth agriculture project that teaches youth about traditional farming practices.

I just inherited a beautiful set of very old cornhusks dolls.
Thank you for sharing art and teachings from the Hudenosaunee culture! It is much appreciated. The pictures towards the end, with people having made their own dolls made me happy (I am glad the tradition is being preserved and taught, and that it might provide a sense of connection, meaning, and achievement to the participants). Blessings from Norway.
Laura Ingalls Wilder had a corn husk doll as she wrote in her books from the time I read it I always wanted to learn more about those lovely dolls I am a doll collector and the history and forms and construction of traditional dolls of previous generations from ancient times till 21 century always fascinated me a lot thank you for this video it is so informative and interesting!!!! God bless you 🙏🙏🙏
I love this method most so far. I’m getting ready to make one. Thank you!
Thank you so much for sharing such a tragically beautiful story & for showing us the magic of these dolls. You have left me so inspired 😊

Wliwni! Thank you so much! I've never heard this version of the story - it's beautiful and meaningful. I like very much that you make the hair from the corn stalks - I will try that on my dolls!
Your videos are great!
Thank you for sharing a piece of your culture and storytelling with us!
That was absolutely beautiful both story and doll. I am wanting to make my granddaughter a corn husk doll. Watching many videos of this topic i find yours touching. Thank you so much for sharing............new subscriber.
Thank you for sharing the story of the corn husk doll I am going to try to make a doll this fall
I love your video! It is the perfect length and developmental level for my students! Please consider making more videos with storytelling! I would love to incorporate them into my story time all year instead of just a brief focus on Native American traditions and storytelling during Fall.
I wish I could make one..
How do you dry them how choose the leaves
I like the look of this doll but I would really like a tutorial so that I can make one. Could you provide instructions please?

Well that's okay if you don't like that culture you can learn something else if you want?
