View of two thatched-roof buildings sitting at a bend in a river. The buildings, one a main house and one a smaller shed, sit on stilts atop a sloping riverbank, where two men stand facing the water, and a woman sits between them. A third man stands waist-deep in the river, holding on to the side of a canoe. Right beside the canoe, tied up on the riverbank, is a second boat with a thatched canopy.
