Description: A rectangular shaped wall hanging with a red border. In the inside rectangular shape the scene is split in half with a brown stitched line. On the right side is two figures, one is spearing a fish and the other is fishing. Above the figures on the left is a caribou and just to the right is a smaller animal perhaps a dog. On the left side there is a figure on a sleigh being pulled by dogs. Beside the dog is another figure walking. Along the bottom of the left side there is a man, woman and a child looking at the fish that they caught with a spear. The upper left corner includes two caribou. All the figures and animals are made out of skin cut out shapes with the exception of one fish.
