The painting, which is an acrylic paint on canvas, features Smith's interpretation of George Catlin's painting, Ee-he-a-duck-chee-a, painted in black paint.

Half of the blue marks are on the right side of the canvas, with "Hecho en USA" shedding canvas. "$ 19.99" painted in the upper left corner.
The painting was signed and inscribed on the back, the top edge of the painting, using a black marker. It read: [illeg.] Smith 2002 "THE RANCHER" ACl 72 "x 48"

Curatorial Analysis
In this work, Quick-to-See Smith sought to reject stereotypes about North American indigenous peoples, using the work of Caitlin. The use of brand logos is believed to confirm "that indigenous people can be simultaneously traditional and contemporary," according to the curator at the Hood Museum of Art. "Hecho en USA" is intended to reflect "the intermingling of language, culture, and the American subculture." In addition, the words "fries" and sign language are meant to illustrate how indigenous people often have to incorporate new ideas and words into the lexicon and their lives as they seek to stay in touch with modern life.
