An inverted American flag occupies the lower left quadrant, a quiet signal of distress within an otherwise active scene. Two neighboring tribes—the Buffalo Clan and the Thunderbird Clan—sit in separate teepees, each contained within its own domain. Above them, Bradley introduces deliberately humorous thought bubbles: both envision the same outcome—a coordinated war against the U.S. Army advancing to slaughter the buffalo. The imagined battle plays out across a loosely rendered ledger-style map marked “Wounded Knee,” grounding the satire in historical reality. Bradley’s wit is sharp but measured; the humor carries the weight without exaggeration.
