Description:
Native Americans make and drink beverages at a religious ceremony. Men dressed in feathered headdresses, garments, and ornaments, dance with religious objects or maracas and drink from bowls. One blows on a musical instrument. Women in the foreground chew roots and spit into a vessel; they cook the brew in a pot over the fire, and put the prepared drink into bowls.
