Top) roche percee area. near an old buffalo kill site.

second from top) petroglyphs. these were actually pointed out to me by an old chippewa woman (judy) whose ancestors had moved to the area to escape eropean settlers from the east. the problem with these petroglyphs is that they have been carved up by other people named jim, and bob, just scrapping their names over top of the sacred writings (there is some crap running down from the top in this pic).

another way to erase history.

second from bottom) some of the winding long rocks in the area look like snakes. judy, told me that the elders say an eagle once picked up a snake and flew into the sky with it. the snake fought hard as the eagle flew up and up. the eagle could not hold the slithering snake and had to drop it. the snake fell to the ground and when it hit the ground it turned to stone. the story makes sense, i guess.

snake.

bottom) judy.
