"Indian Papoose Kawasi" is a painting by Grace Carpenter Hudson (1865–1937), an American artist known for her portraits of the Pomo people, indigenous inhabitants of the area around her home in Ukiah, California. Created in 1891, this work is part of Hudson's extensive oeuvre that focuses on Native American subjects, particularly children.

The painting depicts Kawasi, a Pomo infant, in a traditional cradleboard, which was commonly used by many Native American cultures to carry and protect their babies. Grace Carpenter Hudson's attention to detail is evident in the rendering of the textures and patterns of the papoose's wrappings and the intricate beadwork of the cradleboard. Her work is characterized by a blend of realism and a sentimental portrayal of her subjects, which was typical of the period and reflected the broader national interest in the American West and its indigenous peoples.

"Indian Papoose Kawasi" is significant as it reflects Hudson's dedication to documenting the Pomo people and their culture at a time when Native American ways of life were undergoing rapid change due to the influence of European-American settlement. Hudson's paintings are valuable for their ethnographic detail and artistic merit, providing insight into the Pomo culture and the history of California.

Grace Carpenter Hudson's paintings are held in various collections, including the Grace Hudson Museum in Ukiah, which specializes in her work and the Pomo culture. "Indian Papoose Kawasi" contributes to Hudson's legacy as an important regional artist of the late 19th and early 20th centuries and serves as a visual record of the Pomo people during that era.
