Papooses

In Native American culture, it was common to tie the baby during the first year of life on to a cradle board. A cradle board is a baby carrier used to keep babies secure and comfortable and at the same time allowing the mothers freedom to work and travel. Bound and wrapped on a cradleboard, a baby can feel safe and secure. Soft materials such as lichens, moss and shredded bark were used for cushioning and diapers. Cradleboards were either cut from flat pieces of wood or woven from flexible twigs like willow and hazel, and cushioned with soft, absorbant materials. The design of most cradleboards is a flat surface with the child wrapped tightly to it. It is usually only able to move its head.A cradleboard went by many names, but in American English it is known as a papoose. The word came originally from the word papoos used by the Narragansett tribe, meanig 'child'.
