They write their dreams on the rock forever

Description:

"'Nlaka'pamux elder Annie York explains the red ochre inscriptions written on the rocks and cliffs of the lower Stein Valley. Readings of these inscriptions-the lasting written record of the dreams and visions experienced by both neophyte hunters and practiced shamans-open a discussion of some of the issues in rock art research that relate to 'notating' and 'writing' on the landscape, around the world and through the millenia. A landmark publication on the evolution of writing."--
