NATIVE AMERICAN PICTOGRAPHIC ART

For many years I have been a student of American Indian
rock art. Also pottery design and pictographic images
painted on rawhide have been of immense interest to me.

I am not Native American, but have lived in close proximity
to Indian families--notably of the Concow Maidu Indains
of Butte County, California.
