One enterprising member of the Sioux tribe was able to outsell his competitors in the sale of wooden dolls by selling them at only a fraction of the cost others charged. Upon examining his dolls, they found that where hardwood was traditionally used, this Indian would use cheap pine on which he glued thin pieces of fine mahogany, thus being able to produce the dolls at only a fraction of the cost.
While he claimed his dolls were still authentic, his competitors complained that they were really just Cheap Sioux Veneers.
