Plains Indian biographic rock art can be “read” by those
knowledgeable in its lexicon. Presented is a lexicon of imagery,
conventions, and symbols used by Plains Indians to communicate
their warfare and social narratives. The reader is introduced to
Plains Indian “warrior” art in all media, biographic art as
picture writing is explained, and the lexicon is described,
providing a pictographic “dictionary,” and explains conventions
and connotations. Finally, it illustrates four key examples of how
these narratives are read by the observer. Familiarity with the
lexicon will enable interested scholars and laypersons to
understand what are otherwise enigmatic rock art drawings found
from Calgary, Alberta through ten U.S. states, and into the Mexican
state of Coahuila.
