Description: In the foreground, several colonists stand with an Indigenous man. The Indigenous man wears an adorned loincloth and bracelets around his wrists and knees. His skin is covered in tattooed or painted designs. To the left of the men, a group of Indigenous people kneel on the ground in a semi-circle with their arms outstretched or raised above their heads. At the center of the circle there is a log standing on end. Two Indigenous people are beside it, one standing and one kneeling, both with their arms raised. In the upper left corner, the sun is shown, with the remains of a deer in the sun beams.
