According to the artist, “The long-awaited harvest time for the wild berries has arrived. It is the responsibility of the women and children of the village to gather the harvest. To protect them from berry-loving bears as well as raiders from other tribes, young Blackfoot braves are assigned to protect the gatherers.”
