Description

A small Tupinambá Indigenous village is shown. There is a fence around the village, and four long structures. At the center of the village a man stands, his legs are tied together. Facing him is an Indigenous man wearing a feathered headdress and a large feathered garment on his backside. The Indigenous man is pointing at the captive man. Several other Indigenous people in the village gaze towards the captive man. Beside a gap in the fence in the lower left of the fence there are three long poles with skulls mounted on top of them.
