SNUG AS A BUG IN A RAG. PUEBLO INDIAN PAPOOSE.
The cradle or carrier of the Pueblo Indian babies is either
a board, or rawhide stretched on a wooden frame. Some-
times, they have a frame of wicker, or cloth stretched on a
wooden frame, as a hood. The child is bound in this carrier,
and altho they appear uncomfortable, they are seldom heard
to cry. When the carrier is used as a cradle, it is simply tied
to the beams of the roof of the little huts in which the Pueblo
Indians live. by long ropes. The cradle can then be swung
like a pendulum The Pueblo Indian is very fond of his
children who obey their parents absolutely and uncomplain-
ingly. They are seldom punished or spoken to harshly.
