Description: A group of Tupinambá people fish near their coastal village. Three people in canoes fish using bows and arrows. Another two people stand in the shallow water, one of them also uses a bow and arrow while the other holds a fish in their hands. Two people on land fish using a large net thrown into the shallow water. On land in the background, two people tend to plants. There is a long structure and a cross on the right, and one person kneels in prayer before the cross.
