Hiawatha and a group of Indians
A deerskin with picture-writing on it (see text below) is in the centre of the background. Over the writing burns the light. Hiawatha stands before the deerskin instructing his people, who are grouped about him. During his lesson they show signs of eager approval.[1]

The achievements of the warriors,
The adventures of the hunters,
