Description: Four Indigenous people are shown in a canoe on the river. The person in the right end of the canoe fishes with a net on the end of a long stick, while the person in the left of the canoe appears to paddle. There are two individuals in the middle of the canoe sitting on either side of a fire. In the background several other Indigenous people fish in the shallows of the river on foot and in canoes using spears.
