Description: A group of Indigenous Canadians (identified as such by the author) hunt wild boar and deer with spears. They wear tunics, hats, leggings or tall socks with fur, and snowshoes on their feet. One individual in the background drags the body of an animal towards their village. This illustration is a simplified and mirrored version of the one found on page 151 of Paris, 1557.
