Girls would donate their own hair for the dolls and boys would skin animals and use the hides for clothing. Nearly every tribe would make dolls for storytelling. Most of the dolls were symbolic and held spiritual significance. Harriet Little donated this couple with a baby to the Botetourt County Historical Museum, located behind the Botetourt County Courthouse in Fincastle.
