Description: Indigenous men are shown in the process of making a canoe. The canoe they are working on is propped up on log braces. One of the men fans a fire inside the middle of the canoe while the other man scrapes the inside of one end of the canoe. In the background two other men are pictured tending to fires beside a large fallen tree, one at the base and one amongst the branches further up the trunk. There is also a fire at the base of another large tree in the background.
