Title

English: Umatilla infants in cradleboards, ca. 1898

Description

English: Various Plateau Indian tribes in interior Washington and Oregon traditionally put their infants in cradleboards. Being wrapped tightly and laced into the cradleboard seemed to have a calming effect on the babies. Cradleboards were often made of wood, with a covering of leather or fabric. Some were quite plain while others were highly decorated with beadwork and shells. Larger cradleboards were made for the infants as they grew.

In this photo, two Umatilla infants look out at the photographer from their undecorated wood and fabric cradleboards. The Umatilla people live in north central Oregon. The photo was taken at Pendleton sometime around 1898.
