The Ute people (Numu, meaning "the people"), a Great Basin and Colorado Plateau tribe, cradleboards were essential for nomadic life, allowing mobility during hunting, gathering, and travel on horseback. Ute cradleboards typically feature a rigid wooden or willow frame wrapped in brain-tanned buckskin, with a hood-like canopy for shade and protection.
A papoose cradle is a traditional Native American cradleboard (also called a baby board or papoose carrier), a portable infant carrier used by many Indigenous tribes to secure and transport babies on the mother's back or as a hands-free device while working.
