Description: A group of Indigenous people are shown engaging in a dance. Three individuals embrace, and others dance in a circle around them. Some hold branches and other plants and objects in their hands. The circle is partially formed by wooden posts stuck into the ground. These posts have faces carved into the top of them, facing into the center of the dance circle.
