∙ 15y agoA Native American child is ka a papoose, from the Algonquian papoos for child. In 1643, Roger Williams [December 21, 1603-April 1, 1683] was first to record the word, in A Key into the Language of America. The word also may refer to the child carriers, such as the cradle boards, that were used by Native Americans.
