Cradle boards served as a means for carrying infants on their mother’s backs. Infants were also propped up against a tree or wall so infants could view their world and keep their interest in their surroundings. The cradle board was designed to provide security when the mother was not carrying the infant.
Cradle boards are designed differently according to the various American Indian tribes. Crow cradle boards are designed with beaded geometric and floral patterns. The designs are beaded on the head board, straps and the bottom of the cradle board.
