A Skookum doll was a Native American themed doll, sold as a souvenir item in the early 20th century. Although considered collectible, they are not authentic Indian dolls, as they were designed and created by a white woman, and quickly mass-produced.

The little one by feet is a Seminole tourist doll
Your Skookum doll and papoose is a later one and not as high quality as earlier ones . So prices vary a lot and have dropped quite a bit since since internet. You always find interesting things :-)
