Cradleboard is
a powerful symbol of protection, designed to keep infants safe while allowing
parents to carry them with ease. It's a deep care and affection that parents
have for their children, ensuring they are sheltered and comfortable. Awéétsʼáál
creates a strong bond between mother and child, acting as a physical
manifestation of their connection. The bond is nurtured through the importance
of family ties within the Navajo culture.
