White prayer feathers (pahos) and corn meal rise through the scene, sent as prayers to the departed souls in the cosmos, while dark silhouetted figures with raised arms line the upper and lower edges of the composition. Fine white stippling across the surface gives the scene a soft, celestial glow.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePainted with acrylic on canvas.

At the base, a frog and tadpoles swim through the waters, symbolizing the beginning of life. Above them, a row of bear tracks and a spiraling design trace the migration journey of the Bear Clan, guided by three prayer feathers (pahos) and Spider Woman, who appears as a spider on her web. The journey leads to a terraced Hopi village with a ladder at its center, representing the Bear Clan as the earliest to settle the Hopi Mesas. To the left of the village, three human spirits hold blue, yellow, and red Hopi corn. To the right is the evolving Bear, marked with a red heartline, representing the Chief of the Bear Clan.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePainted with acrylic on canvas.
