    I'll be honest with you bud, a couple of those scare the S@%* out of me, for fear of Voodoo...! Hopefully you get some legit feedback here.

    Based on the hairstyle the first doll is meant to be Navajo (or possibly Pueblo), though not traditional dress for such dolls:

    Yours looks contemporary enough that I would expect it to be signed somewhere if it was made by a Native American. Check under the edges of the clothing.


    The second one is probably from Peru, a modern version of the dolls found in Paracas burials:

    The third one, as it says, is from Totonicapan, Guatemala, and illustrates traditional Mayan costume.
