This drawing depicts 4 human figures, 3 dog-like figures, a walrus, and two non-living structures. The figures and structures are strewn across the page. The centre-most item is the biggest structure: it depicts a yellow square with a window, attached to a blue, sloped trapezoid. The blue trapezoid has 5 branch-like appendages coming out of the top. The head of a walrus is emerging from the top of the yellow square. To the right of this structure is the biggest and smallest of the human figures: a mother wearing an amautiq with a baby in it is standing in a profile view away from the large structure, and towards the smaller structure. The smaller structure has two ends shaped like martini glass heads. The bottom martini glass has a grid-like pattern on it, while the top martini glass has a line through the middle and a branch-like appendage emerging from the top. To the right of this smaller structure is one of the dogs, shaded in brown. Below the dog is one of the other human figures, whose head is turned to the left, and shrouded by their hood, while their body is facing forward. Below the larger structure are two other dogs, the left-most one shaded in brown, the right-most one left blank. The final person is standing above the left / blue side of the bigger structure. Their face is turned to the right, with their hood covering the entirety of their face. Their body is facing forward. All the figures and the small structure are drawn in brown.
