Three Native American figures are standing on grassy ground. The person on the left is female, wearing a dress and holding a cylindrical object. The central figure is a male with one hand on his hip and the other raised to his chest, wearing a fringed cloak. The male figure on the right is standing with his arms folded, wearing a robe and traditional moccasins. The background displays a cloudy sky with hues of yellow and green.
