The image depicts Major Long engaging in a council with the Oto (Missouri) Indians, surrounded by the serene beauty of a forest clearing. Engraved by Lawson in 1819, this artwork captures an important encounter between two cultures. The scene exudes a sense of curiosity and respect as soldiers and tribe members come together to discuss matters of mutual interest.
