The False Face Society is the best known of many medicinal societies among the
Iroquois in
New York,
USA. The society is best known for its dramatic wooden masks, the "false faces." The masks are used in healing rituals which invoke spirits and a dream world. Those cured by the society become members. Also, echoing the significance of
dreams to the Iroquois, anyone who dreams that they should be a member of the society may join.
