NOTES
The Greeks have Narcissus and the Haudenosaunee have the Cornhusk Doll. They both stared into pools to admire themselves and got punished. Narcissus fell in love with himself. The Cornhusk Doll had her face taken away by her Creator, so she was no longer distracted from her duties. Both stories are parables against vanity in their respective cultures.Wakia, the No Face Cornhusk Doll has learned humility over the centuries of her existence in this short story. However, she wants her face back. The Haudenosaunee children have lost interest in her. They all want to play with the Settlers' dolls. Will the Creator grant Wakia's request? Will the Rez kids play with her again?
