The men put them on in the early evening and the women wear them toward the close of the dance in the morning. They represent the human face, and are well carved from buckeye wood, trimmed with rabbit fur and squirrel tails for hair and beard, and painted with red and black inks procured from the whites.' -- James Mooney notes"
