Note:

A label on the reverse of this artwork explains, “An orphaned group of children, their relatives recently dead from an epidemic, are now burned out of the lodge in which they lived.

The prevailing wind kept the fire from spreading to the other longhouses.

The villagers are shown taking immediate care of the children.”
