"Nakoma ''89 (c)" printed in black at the bottom right of the illustration.
Poster has black ink printed on white paper. At the top and bottom are horizontal images of bracelets or textiles with wiven geometric designs, with remaining thread on the left and right sides. At the top is "from where I came I will return / The Circle Is My Path". Throughout the rest of the poster are sections of black script divided by stylized illustration of people, animals and nature scenes. The text discusses North American Indian ideology and interactions with "the white man''s" world. At the center is a shirtless man on his knees with his arms open in front of images of the four seasons, each set in a quadrant of the circle. Other images include North American Indian paraphernalia like a pipe, statue, feathers and symbols. |
