This little family of Native American Skookum character dolls is a collection that begs to stay together. So, they are being sold as a set.
Though not authentic to the Native American people, Skookum dolls were made and sold as a souvenir item in the early 20th century. Considered highly collectible today due to their history and handmade qualities.
Our set includes a mother with baby in papoose, a larger size child in carrier with handle, a small baby wrapped in a blanket, and a papoose type of carrier holding three babies. None of there are perfect which make them even more charished.
