Multi-color poster printed on white paper has a brown background in the style of handmade paper. "Native Americans" is printed at top above a trompe l'oeil piece of cream colored paper that contains a portrait titled "He Who Puts Out and Kills, Chief of the Tribe," by George Catlin. A pair of hickory ballsticks for the game of lacrosse, a chickee house with a palm-thatched roof, and a pair of box turtle rattles worn by Cherokee women on the leg appear below the portrait. Names of North American Indian tribes are printed at center right and left. Four paragraphs of small text are printed in the lower margin under the heading "The Southeast." A map of North America with geographic areas marked in pink divides the text at bottom center.
