Depicts Indigenous people sitting by a fire in a pit house. An elder is sharing stories with three young people. One young person is depicted as a graduate with a mortar board hat; another is depicted in contemporary clothing with a gold necklace featuring the letters DJ; and a third is a child holding a feather. The smoke from the fire rises up in the shape of eagle and bear heads. As the smoke rises images are depicted of a bear and fish swimming in a river; a person fishing; fish being dried on a rack; a woman tanning a hide; trees, rocks, and hoodoos typical of the Interior of BC; and the sky and sun shining on distant mountains.
