Description: An Indigenous man, called an enchanter by the author, is shown standing on the bank of a river. He wears a black bird in his short hair as a symbol of his position. His only clothing is a hide tied around his waist, and a satchel hangs at his side. Behind him, other Indigenous people are seen in a canoe, hunting water birds with a bow and arrow.
