Banksy's No Trespassing work depicts a Native American sitting at the base of a "No Trespassing" sign. The work, which appeared in the Mission District of San Francisco, is focused around the traditional street sign that was posted long before the stencil illustration. The Native American's clothes, headdress, and arrows are painted in black and white while his skin slightly tinted in sepia tone.


Many of Banksy's works feature double entendres, and this work is no different. The subject is gripping a "No Trespassing" sign, reminding us who are the true founders of the United States. The piece's creation was also in response to the 2010 Sit/Lie injunction of San Francisco residents in 2010. The piece faced rag-tags, yet it stood for sometime before being whitewashed.
