Description: A young Indigenous woman stands on the bank of a river, shown from the front and from behind. Her hair is knotted at the nape of her neck. She wears a necklace of beads, and has an adornment, either a physical cuff or an inked design, around her biceps, her wrists, and her calves. She wears a fringed skirt tied around her waist and is barefoot and shirtless. In the river behind her, other Indigenous people are shown in canoes, and on the opposite bank there are several buildings.
