20th century
Allen Sapp created this painting of hunting on the reserve, emphasizing the work that was put into providing food, and the animals they included on their adventures. Hunting in a restricted location provided struggles, but domesticated animals could assist with hunting and gathering. A man and the dog are hunting by a pond, on a summer day, walking through the grass towards the bush. The man is grabbing a bird from Fritz’s mouth. Dogs traditionally helped with hunting because they would accompany their owner, and bark when finding partridges, chickens, or rabbits. "Fritz Brings Supper” is a representation of a Neyihaw teaching, living off the land.
