Description
-
An Indigenous man, a chief, is pictured from the front and from behind standing on the bank of a river. A section of his hair is feathered in the middle of his head from his forehead to the nape of his neck, where the rest of his hair is gathered in a knot. He wears beaded earrings, a necklace with a large square pendant, and beaded bracelets around his wrists. He wears a fringed skirt draped around his waist and is barefoot and shirtless. In the background, other Indigenous people are seen in canoes, and there is a fishing apparatus in the water in the left part of the background.
