But, the petroglyphs and red-ochre pictographs found across Nlaka'pamux territory in present-day British Columbia and Washington State are far more than ancient motifs. \u003ci\u003eSigns of the Time\u003c\/i\u003e explores the historical and cultural reasons for making rock art. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Archaeologist Chris Arnett draws on extensive research and decades of work with Nlaka'pamux people to document the variability and similarity of practices. Through a blend of Western records and Indigenous oral histories and tradition, rock art is revealed as communication between the spirit and physical worlds, information for later generations, and powerful protection against challenges to a people, land, and culture. Nlaka'pamux have used such cultural means to forestall threats to their lifeways from the sixteenth century through the twentieth. As this important work attests, rock art remains a signature of resilience.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Chris Arnett\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0774867965\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780774867962\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of British Columbia Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/31\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.88lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.90w x 0.90d","brand":"Chris Arnett","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45934081671423,"sku":"9780774867962","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_4a93a64a-ec45-4380-bf5d-fbc2a89c0a5a.jpg?v=1721790304","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/signs-of-the-time-chris-arnett-9780774867962","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
