General note:

Described by the RECON project.
Photograph was taken as part of the Algoma Legislative Tour in June 1899.
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. The Cree/Ojibwe term for cradleboard is tikinagan (also spelled tiginaagan, tikkanaagan, or tikanagan).
