Context:
Throughout the Plains region Indian families used to shelter their babies in cradleboards, which combined the functions of backpack and infant seat. With the baby wrapped snugly inside, the cradleboard could be tied to the mother's shoulders or propped nearby while the family worked, ate, or socialized. Often the beautifully beaded covers were made by female relatives of the mother, and a woman might receive several as baby gifts. This one shows the careful geometric patterns and white background of classic Lakota decoration.
