Description: This image shows the Indigenous people’s method of hunting deer. Three individuals are hunting. They have taken the skin of deer previously killed and draped them over themselves as a disguise. They walk bent at the waist and hold bows and arrows in front of them. Across a small river, several deer stand watching the hunters.
