A Plains Indian camp "kitchen" scene. The woman in the center is using a mano and metate to make flour for the "pancakes frying on the flat stone over the fire. In the background, strips of meat have been laid to dry over wooden racks. Pottery jars (shown near the fire) served as the "pots and pans" of Late Prehistoric people.
