One of the men fans a fire inside the middle of the canoe while the other man scrapes the inside of one end of the canoe. In the background two other men are pictured tending to fires beside a large fallen tree, one at the base and one amongst the branches further up the trunk. There is also a fire at the base of another large tree in the background.
