Description: A group of Indigenous people is shown. Most kneel on the ground in a semi-circle, and hold various weapons including bows and arrows and spears. They all wear headdresses, some in the shape of birds or mammals, and some with feathers on top. In the center of the semi-circle one man stands. He is covered in tattoos and holds his arms above his head. In one hand he holds a vessel of liquid. He wears a loincloth with a racoon tail hanging from the rear and a headdress with feathers. Behind him a spear and shield and two containers rest on the ground, and a fire burns.
