Answer 1

How about some research on tribal masks?  They are a legitimate folk art, and authentic ones are displayed in museums around the world - some are worth a fortune.  Each one tells a story, and represents the culture of a specific tribe.  It's really interesting.  I'm sure you could begin to find some info on the net.
