    Jeffers Petroglyphs: a Recording of 7000 Years of North American History Tom Sanders 4/24/14

    Jeffers Petroglyphs: a Recording of 7000 Years of North American History Tom Sanders 4/24/14 Introduction For thousands of years, indigenous people left a seemingly endless variety of symbols carved into Jeffers Petroglyphs’ red stone outcroppings. Elders (Dakota, Cheyenne, Arapaho, Ojibwa and Iowa) have told us that this is a place where people sought communion with spirits and a place to retreat for ceremonies, fasting and guidance. They tell us that there were many reasons for carving the 5000 images at the site. These elders stressed that the carvings are more than art or mimicry of the natural environment. They tell us that the carvings are eloquent cultural symbols of the rich and complex American Indian societies. They say that elders taught philosophy through parables pictured on the rock and American Indian travelers left written directions for those that were to follow. These carvings of deer, buffalo, turtles, thunderbirds and humans illustrate the social life of the cultures that inhabited this area. Some of these images are drawings of spirits. Many of the carvings are the recordings of visions by holy people. Some of the images are healing alters or prayers to the Great Spirit or one of the helping spirits. Dakota elder Jerry Flute tells us that “Jeffers Petroglyphs is a special place, not just for visitors but also for Native Americans. It is a spiritual place where grandmother earth speaks of the past, present, and future. The descendants of those who carved these images consider this an outdoor church, where worship and ceremony still take place.” Many elders believe that Jeffers Petroglyphs is an encyclopedia that records historic and cultural knowledge.
