Description
Five women smoking while sitting near a lake. According to Ejinagosi Kistabish, these people were not there for the "good tobacco", contrarily to what suggested the initial title by Father Gaston Carrière. They are undoubtedly telling each other stories, blending their life experiences with tales drawn from their imagination : Adisokan.

An almost identical picture can be found at the Atikamekw Nation Council's archives. It seems the women come from Wemotcaci.
