Collection: Native Rock Art Symbols

American Native Rock Art is found predominantly in the Southwest United States of America.
Native Rock Art found in the United States of America can date from as long ago as 3000 BC.
Utah, New Mexico and Tesco also contain a significant number of surviving occurrences.
All are either pictographs: drawings or paintings made on rocks;    or petroglyphs: images carved into the rock.
Some symbols stood for human character traits, like wisdom or far-sightedness, while others represent abstract concepts such as wealth or creativity.
Other symbols told myths and histories that involved the tribe's travels, achievements or successful hunting expeditions.
