Description: A group of Tupinambá men have set up a camp near the shore. Their four canoes have been pulled up along the shoreline, and the men sit and stand in relaxed groups. One man has been hunting and return to the group with a deer over their shoulder, and there are fish set on a wooden frame over a fire. In the background several hammocks have been hung between trees and are used for napping. Most of the men wear feathered headdresses and adornments around their waists and carry bows and arrow quivers. A bearded European man stands amongst the group to the left.
