Description: An Indigenous group from Newfoundland (as identified by the author) prepare to go to war. The group marches in a procession with large drums made from animal skins stretched over a wooden frame and bones as drumsticks. One man is carried on the shoulders of several others and holds a ceremonial weapon or other object. Most members of the group are barefoot and wear tunics, several have capes tied around their necks, and others wear headdresses of feathers or leaves.
