Small print at top left begins, "Wati Tjutaku is a major collaborative Men''s painting created during the Native Title negotiation process of the late 1990''s." The text goes on to describe the symbolism of the image. Bold text printed below the image reads, "The Spinifex People are the Aboriginal owners of sandhill country in the Great Victoria Desert of Western Australia.

Small text near bottom notes information on a Global Greens conference in Canberra, Australia from April 14-16, 2001. "Global Greens" is printed across the bottom of the page in large gray font with two leaves making up the letter ''o''.
