Painting by renowned artist Oreland Joe Sr. and a group of students from the Native Youth Art Expressions program. The painting depicts a landscape with the horizon line about half way through the painting, consisting of rolling hills in various shades of green, and a large abstract shape covering the top right of the sky, resembling a large tree or cloud, blending the foreground with the sky. The sky is a solid soft blue, with a bright orange dot that looks like a sun. Below the peaks of the hills lies a line of soft shapes depicting tipi's following a stream that cuts diagonally, trailing off to the bottom right side of the painting. There are lightly painted figures of horses along the other side of the river, and along the bottom of the painting, with a few subtle details of designs on the tipis and horses in an otherwise soft and lineless landscape.
