Skookum doll

A Skookum doll is a type of Native American-inspired doll that originated in the early 20th century, particularly associated with the Pacific Northwest. These dolls were created by the American artist and entrepreneur, the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The term "Skookum" comes from a Chinook word meaning "strong" or "brave." Skookum dolls typically depict Native American figures, often dressed in traditional attire and sometimes holding items related to cultural practices.
