Cree Indian Squaw and Papoose

Image taken from page 46 of "American Indians" by Frederick Starr, 1899. The Cree are one of the largest groups of First Nations/Native Americans in North America, with over 200,000 members living in Canada. In the United States, this Algonquian-speaking people historically lived from Lake Superior westward. Today, they live mostly in Montana, where they share a reservation with the Ojibwe (Chippewa). Squaw is an English language loan word whose present meaning is: a Native American Indian woman of North America (regardless of tribe). At present, the term is often held to be offensive. A papoose (from the Algonquian papoos, meaning child) is also an English language loanword whose present meaning is: a Native American Indian child (regardless of tribe). The word came originally from the Narragansett tribe. Cradleboards are used for the first few months of an infant's life, when a portable carrier for the baby is a necessity.
