When I learned the word, I was told "Indian" men were
called braves, women were called squaws, and children
were called papooses.  (Of course those meanings
have pretty much disappeared.). Carriers had nothing
to do with it, and I don't think I'd ever heard the "carrier"
meaning till this thread.  However, I haven't talked much
with people about infant carriers.
