This mask is a one-of-a-kind museum piece that I purchased at the Abenaki reservation in Odanak, Quebec, in July 2005 from Marguerite Panadis, who was liquidating her store as a result of an illness that set in around 2000. It was made by Marijean Gill about seventy-five years ago (circa 1940). It hung in Ms. Panadis's store on the reservation for 30 years.The mask was old when Marijean Gill gave it to Ms. Panadis. It is called "Le masque de la bonne danse" in French or "The Mask of the Good...

Like many Native American arts and crafts, the traditional corn husk masks are becoming more difficult to obtain with each passing year. Occasionally, I find a few for sale at either the Six Nations Reservation in Ontario or at The Kahnawake Mohawk Reservation south of Montreal. When I do, I buy every one I can get. These masks have not been blessed or used in religious ceremonies.

The full-size corn husk masks are generally big enough to wear. The faces are between 7.5" and 8" long and 5 to 5.5" wide. With the husk trim, the overall size varies between about 19" to 21" long and 15" to 16" wide.Like many Native American arts and crafts, the traditional corn husk masks are becoming more difficult to obtain with each passing year.

These masks have been carved by hand from the bark of the black cottonwood tree, which occurs in the lowlands of Alaska's south-central and southern coastal forests. The bark comes from trees that have been dead for five to six years. It is then possible to remove the bark which can measure up to six inches thick. The masks are trimmed with real fur, either reindeer, beaver, fox, or Icelandic sheepskin. The artist is a card-carrying Cherokee who moved to Alaska to work on the pipeline and...
