DescriptionA group of Native American figures mounted on horses ride from right to left across the canvas. The front of the group appears to be male as many have single feather headdresses and carry lances. The figures in the rear appear to be female as there are no headdresses and they are carrying packs and poles. All the horses are brown with the exception of the frontal figure that rides a white horse and is turned to look behind. Two dogs can be seen trotting alongside in the foreground; a mountain range fills in the background.
