The image displays a gathering of Native Americans. A large group of people are gathered, some on horseback, with others standing in a circle. There are more riders spread across the landscape in the distance. The horizon is flat and uninterrupted, balancing the composition. The sky above shows soft, horizontal strokes with gentle cloud formations. The color palette is warm and earthy, dominated by shades of green in the grass and light blue in the sky, along with natural tones in the people's clothing.
