The Iroquois made corn husk masks to reprensent the old or the sick. They made these masks so that the could be more like old who were seen as the most wise of the clan. If the younger generation died with the mask on they were thought to have transformed into the old and relive the other souls life backwards. This was a very noble and honorable occurance for the one who past away because they get a second chance at live.
