Tikinagan board or cradleboard. Wood, feathers, string. North America, United States. Second half of the 20th century. Size : 77 X 24 cm Native Americans have widely used (and continue to use for some) the cradleboard, called Tikinagan in Cree.

It can be made of a reed or woven pine frame, or of a board on which the cradle itself is tied and into which the child is slid.
