Description

This soaking up volume examines the cultural role of rock art for the Apsáalooke, or Crow, people of the northern Great Plains. Their extensive rock art developed throughout the changing cultural life of the tribe. Individual knowledge and which means of rock art panels, alternatively, relies as much on collective concepts of landscape as it does on shared memories of historic Crow culture. The usage of this concept as a focal point, this book:-introduces Plains Indian rock art of the 19th century as we learn about it from its own stylistic conventions, ethnographic data, and historical accounts;-investigates the recent Crow discourse about rock art and its place throughout the cultural landscape and archaeological record;-argues that cultural concepts of space and place are fundamental to the best way rock art is discussed, experienced and interpreted.
