papoose

The boy had never seen so tiny a papoose, and he thought he would take it home to his mother, it was so cunning.

Behind her came Burning Pine, the younger wife, a papoose strapped to her back, looking equally determined.

The papoose has first a child-name, which later gives place to the appellation which it will use through life.

In a little while he lay upon his side, trussed up as securely and helplessly as a papoose in its birch-bark carrying-cradle.

Chick-chick gesticulated the proposition that the white papoose be brought into the tent, where he could be seen.
