Description: A group of Indigenous people sit on the ground around a bonfire on the bank of a river. Some of the individuals hold rattles. All wear fringed garments, either draped around their bodies and over their shoulders, over one shoulder, or tied around their waist. The men wear feathers in their hair, and at least one woman wears strands of beads. Behind the group, other individuals are seen in canoes on the river.
