The elders are praying for the youth/children who also symbolize the future of humanity for us all. The Tocobaga Indians are enclosed by a natural Florida setting of a sun rising over a curved earth depiction of the ocean, on the ends of the mural there is local Florida plant-life depicted, and the additional sculptural elements on either end of the mural will also depict Florida plant-life.
