Overview of Wind River Basin Rock Art

Author(s): James J. Stewart

Year: 1995

Summary

In the Wind River and southern portion of the Big Horn Basins there are ancient Native American drawings of super-humanoids, animals, and geometric figures. Exactitude in understanding or deciphering these ancient religious/artistic endeavors is not available, however, a general understanding and expanded appreciation can be obtained. And, hopefully with that understanding, a desire to see they are protected from both intentional and unintentional vandalism.
