Description: Two Indigenous people are shown sharing a meal. A man sits on the left, and a woman on the right. They sit on a mat on the ground. A large dish with food is between them, and around them are a jug, a pipe, some nuts, a fish, some cobs of corn, and other objects. The man wears a fringed garment draped around his body and over one shoulder and a single feather in his hair. The woman wears a similar fringed garment draped over one shoulder and two strands of beads around her neck.
