| Object history | “Native American mothers, aunts, and grandmothers demonstrated their love and hope for infants by creating elaborately decorated cradle covers or cradleboards. They used beads, paint, wood, or tacks to make special carriers for their infants. Mothers carried their babies in the cradleboards, like this one, or strapped it to the side of a horse. It was easy to prop the cradleboard with the infant near a tree or dwelling while the mother performed daily chores. Many elders believed cradleboards "socialized" infants when worn because it brought the child to the eye level of the adults.” The Children’s Museum of Indianapolis, IMCPL Digital Collections | |||||||||||||||||||||||
