Cherokee Made Cradleboards - 27"
The
first cradleboard is often made after the child is born. The father
is very careful in the construction of the cradleboard because of
the belief that a mistake in the construction could cause the child
to be born impaired. An infant is the most precious of all gifts.
Monster Slayer
and
Child Born of Water, the twin hero gods of the Navajo, are
represented by the two back supports. The father binds these two
slats together by drilling holes in them and lacing them with
buckskin. He then constructs the footrest, and this too is attached
by drilling and lacing it to the back supports. The footrest
represents
Mother Earth and is a constant reminder that it is on Her
that we spend our lives.
The
back supports and the footrest are traditionally made of juniper,
the head protector of oak. The head protector represents the rainbow
and is also a very practical form of protection.
The
baby is secured to the cradleboard with laced thongs. Buckskin
thongs were originally used because it was believed that the child
would develop the same attributes as the deer and therefore would be
wise, agile and quick. The lacings represent power, lightning and
sun rays. Warmth will generate from the child because of these
lacings.
The cradleboard is not only a
practical convenience but also symbolizes the love of a mother for
her child.

Native American Indian Ceremonial Talking Stick
The talking stick is used as a means for just and impartial hearing,
primarily used in council circles to designate who had the right to
speak (whoever holds the stick speaks and all others listen). When the
stick is passed on to the next person, that person must repeat the
essence of what the previous speaker said before his turn. The stick
carries with it the respect for free speech. The words that are spoken
should come from the heart and be soft and warm (rabbit fur) and
courageous and wise (eagle feather). The beads are reminders that the
Great Spirit hears the message of the heart as well as the spoken word.
