A vertically oriented sepia-toned photogravure on tan paper depicts a Sioux man standing before a rolling, hilly landscape. Facing right, he raises his right arm skyward with an open palm while holding a long pipe at his waist. He wears a dark breechcloth, light moccasins, and a single feather in his hair. Fringed leather gear lies at his feet. The title "INVOCATION – SIOUX" is printed at the bottom left.
