Description: “Chea-Sequah”, (translation – Red Bird), appears on the canvas.  It represents a legend, in expressing the spiritual essence of the Woodland culture describing the great reverence which the American Indian gave to all natural things which were believed to have been supplied by the Creator, for the use of his children. The fruits, which furnished a major source of their food supply and upon which they were dependent, are illustrated. The artwork has a related color scheme. The legend is a Woodland Migration Legend.
