General note:

Described by the RECON project.
The terms "squaw" and "papoose" are derotatory terms that are no longer used to describe First Nations women and children. The original caption of this photograph is a reflection of the contemporary attitudes that existed in society at the time of its creation.
First Nations and Métis women traditionally used cradleboards and moss bags to protect and swaddle their infants. The bag is made of hide, fabric or cloth, and elaborately beaded by the women of a family. The bag is then filled with moss to keep the baby dry and act as a disposable diaper.
