First Nations and Métis Nation communities used cradleboards to secure and carry infants. While the style and form varied between nations, cradleboards were typically made from thin pieces of wood to which a baby was firmly swaddled in a piece of fabric and secured with ties. Cradleboards provided parents with a safe way to carry their children during travel and allowed them use of their hands while working.
