In Native American belief, it's the MANITOU, the animistic nature spirit present in a tree, which is believed to survive after the wood has been made into something else.

Most of the wooden faces used in American are of American Indian origin. They had a huge variety of totems, masks, secret societies, and shamans. The Manitou was only for some tribes, but is a good example of this kind of thing.
