Description: In the foreground, an Indigenous man sits on a wooden bench with a colonist. The Indigenous man wears feathers in his hair, strands of beads around his neck, elbows, wrists, knees, and ankles. His body is covered in tattooed or painted designs. In the background, a large circle of women dances. One woman holds a child aloft in the center of the circle. Another woman kneels on the ground beside a large block with her hands over her head. Several Indigenous men watch the women dance.
