Plains Indian Rock Art
The Plains region that stretches from northern Colorado to southern Alberta and from the Rockies to the western Dakotas is the land of the Cheyenne and the Blackfeet, the Crow and the Sioux. Its rolling grasslands and river valleys have nurtured human cultures for thousands of years. On cave walls, glacial boulders, and riverside cliffs, native people recorded their ceremonies, vision quests, battles, and daily activities in the petroglyphs and p…
First Nations, Forestry, and the Transformation of Archaeological Practice in British Columbia, Canada
In British Columbia, the convergence of Aboriginal political activism, legal decisions, booming industrial development, and shifting disciplinary ethics has transformed archaeological practice. Following a decade of First Nation protests, court decisions in the early 1990s recognized Aboriginal rights and the province's fiduciary obligations to First Nations, which in turn led to the introduction of new heritage management requirements for the fo…
Every Detail Counts
Plains Biographic rock art is directly related to robe and ledger drawings created by Historic period Indian artists. Rock art often shows compositions, objects, and conventions that are identical to those identified and explained by the artists responsible for the robe andledger art. Identifying items of material culture and symbols used in various rock art scenes has previously led to the development and refinement of the Biographic rock art le…
Bird Rattle’s Petroglyphs at Writing-On-Stone
Writing-On-Stone is well-known for its Plains Biographic rock art, characterized by distinctive motifs and narrative compositions. Biographic rock art flourished from the Late Prehistoric period throughout the nineteenth century. Although related images were drawn on hides and paper well into the twentieth century, it was unclear whether Biographic rock art also persisted this late. The recent discovery of photographs and narrative of a 1924 trip…
A Multivariate Study of Rock Art Anthropomorphs at Writing-on-Stone, Southern Alberta
The rock art of Writing-On-Stone has been the focus of detailed interpretation relying on concepts of group migration. Indeed, results of previous research at Writing-On-Stone have been pivotal in reconstructions of northwestern Plains group distributions. It is apparent that many anthropomorphic petroglyphs and pictographs contain elements and co-associations that allow chronological ordering from prehistoric through protohistoric and historic t…
