This absorbing volume examines the cultural role of rock art for
the Apsaalooke, or Crow, people of the northern Great Plains. Their
extensive rock art developed within the changing cultural life of
the tribe. Individual knowledge and meaning of rock art panels,
however, relies as much on collective concepts of landscape as it
does on shared memories of historic Crow culture. Using this idea
as a focus, this book:-introduces Plains Indian rock art of the
19th century as we know about it from its own stylistic
conventions, ethnographic data, and historical
accounts;-investigates the contemporary Crow discourse about rock
art and its place within the cultural landscape and archaeological
record;-argues that cultural concepts of space and place are
fundamental to the way rock art is discussed, experienced and
interpreted.
