    These are presumably American Indian artifacts. www.johnhillgallery.com/gpage1.html has some dolls with similar characteristics. From what I can see on the web, the Hopi and Zuni tribes would be the most likely source -- of the tribes in what is now the U.S. But maybe they come from further south.

    This is fascinating. The idea that people needed that comfort of the feel of a real church when there wasn't a way to build them. Or was this for the homebound?

    MOTOR CHAPEL IS LATEST DEPARTURE; Missionary Campaign to be Conducted in Southwest in Roman Catholic Church on Wheels. March 16, 1913, Sunday The motor-propelled church is the latest mode of carrying religion to the wilderness. The first "motor chapel" ever built in this country will soon enter into duty for the Catholic Church Extension Society to supplement the missionary tasks now being performed by railroad chapels. copied from this link query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=9F01E2D81139E633A... How cool is that?
