And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

For approximately 2,000 years, Native Americans have been carving petroglyphs into a single slab of sandstone located in San Juan County, Utah. Now it's known as Newspaper Rock.
I can see it now, all the tribal elders sitting around the fire going " What is it with these kids and their scratching these bullshit tags all over our rock?"
"orange man good, fake squaw bad" turns out sqaw is as vulgar word for what the doctor is looking at when he says "it's a girl" Disney made the word a universal word for Indian women long before the meaning became known
there is a rock in the Mojave desert like this, in Inscription Canyon. somebody carved a tuning capacitor on it. at first I found this irritating, until it ocurred to me he was just doing what people do in Inscription Canyon
I saw this rock last time i was in the Arches and it is fantastic.

ReplyDeleteThe one in the lower right means "orange man good, fake squaw bad"

The Hickison Petroglyph site in Nevada (20 mi E of Austin on Hwy 50) is worth a visit.
ReplyDeleteThe petroglyphs include hundreds of representations of, how can I say this, female anatomy.
Looks to me they had a think about snakes. I'm guessing, "screams-like-girl, was a common name among that tribe!
