A composite image made up of two headshots. On the left, a headshot of Tecumseh Ceaser. An Indigenous artist with red cap on that reads Decolonize. He wears a navy blue button up with white dots. On his neck, two necklaces, one with a hanging Wampum carved shell and a second one shaped in a circle made out of bright green beads. On the right: a headshot of Shane Weeks. An Indigenous artist with a white t-shirt that reads “Race*Shinnecock*Nation*Warrior” in a circle, with “2017” in the center and two paddles forming an “X”. An arrow is placed across the intersecting paddles.

This image focuses on a wood burning fire pit. Logs are stacked in the foreground and smoke is rising around them. There are four people are present. Three are in the background, focused on the fire with expectant expressions. A fourth person stands above the fire, appearing to arrange logs. This person wears a hat and many other adornments: fringed clothing, and jewelry made of leather, bone, silver, and stones.
