Such paintings are found in all parts of western North America.
Present-day tribes usually deny knowledge of their origin, but they must be the works of Indians, for prior to Europeans, no other peoples are known to have inhabited this region.
Their meanings are obscure but they are considered to be hunting records; notes of inter tribe meetings; or expressions of religious experiences.
