Poster is printed on white paper. Poster has a purple background. Centered in the poster is an image of an Indian man in traditional dress and a single feather in his hair. He is holding up his arms that are filled with several species of birds, including: humming bird, cardinal, owl, quail, hawk, and eagle. In the background is a night sky with stars and clouds. A flock of geese and ducks are flying off into the distance. Below the image is a block of darker purple text that reads: "The Earth does not belong to man, man belongs to the Earth. / All things are connected, like the blood that unites us all. / Man did not weave the web of life, he is but a stand in it; / whatever he does to the web, he does to himself. / Cheif Seattle".
