For thousands of years, Native Americans artists have expressed their thoughts, feelings, religious concepts and the like through rock wall art.
This form of art is divided into two broad categories Pictographs and Petroglyphs.
Petroglyphs are images carved directly into the rock face and by their very nature
are more durable and long lasting then Pictographs. This is due to the fact that Pictographs are
designs that are painted onto the face of the rocks.
The meanings of the designs can be complex, basic or even unknown in Modern World.
In many cases various tribes have different designs for the same concept.
Regardless of their meanings, Native American rock wall art
is a beautiful expression of the talents of long dead artists and in some cases extinct cultures of
the first peoples of the Americas.
