Two vertically oriented, rectangular canvases are stacked over each other, and a dart board is affixed to the uppermost edge. The canvases are collaged with newspaper articles, headlines, black-and-white pamphlets, cartoons, comic books, illustrations of animals like chipmunks and buffalo, and a triangular pennant celebrating the “Washington Redskins” as “Super Bowl XXVI CHAMPIONS.” Streaks and drips of red paint create horizontal bands across the panels, separated by bands streaked in yellow. Text is visible throughout, including the title of the pamphlet, which repeats across the composition: “Community Service and Interest Courses/Workshop.” Headlines include “The Heist,” “For People Who Inherited Brains Instead of Wealth,” “Defying the Stereotypes,” and “Destroy The Myth.” The comic is titled “Son of Tomahawk,” and fliers are titled “Help Locate Handicapped Indian Children” and “2nd Annual Flathead Reservation Culture Fair.” One piece of blue fabric with white polka dots is along the bottom edge of the top panel and a piece of red fabric with white dots is along the bottom edge of the lower panel. The outer band of the dart board is smeared with red, and darts with red, blue, yellow, or green feathers line the upper perimeter of the board.
