The image shows a group of eight full-body depictions of Native American men standing and walking together. They are positioned in a line with subtle variations in stance and direction, indicating movement. The men have distinct facial features with dark, straight hair adorned with red and black feathers. Their hair is styled into mohawks or pulled back. They are wearing traditional attire, including fringed skirts, beaded necklaces, and bracelets. One of the men is holding a spear, while another holds a circular shield decorated with patterns, and a smaller hand-held fan-like object. Some men have bows and arrows. The men are set against a light background with pastel tones. The scene is framed with a simple grey-green matte.
