Description:
Three groups of native Americans gather around a structure made of four posts that support a peaked roof. At one peak of the roof is an arrow form, and on the other is a concave oval form. Next to that structure are three bundles of bones. Adjacent to it, too, is the same kind of roof form with concave oval. An elaborately dressed figure holding a spear stands near the bones and structure. In the background is a native American dwelling.
