I don't have a lot of experience discussing (American) Indian
children, so I - too - have never before been challenged with coming
up with a word to describe an unbound one. 
 
It would have been my impression that an Indian woman uses/used the
papoose-on-the-back as a means of comfortably transporting the child
when she's on the move.  It's never occured to me that keeping the
child bound at all times is/was the objective.

  Binding or swaddling babies, exists in many other
cultures.

   My (midwife) mother firmly swaddled all her babies( as
did her mother, and so did I).  Mary did the same to
Jesus.
