This traditional fall craft started in the Americas. "Indians" used corn husk dolls to tell their stories and, thereby, keep tribal history alive across the generations. European settlers quickly adopted the art form. My mother, of Scott-Irish descent, taught me to make these dolls when I was a youngster. When I teach my son, I will tell him family stories, particularly ones about my mother, and she will never be forgotten.
