Rock Art as Resistance: Uncovering the Cultural Significance of N\u0142e\u0294kepmx Petroglyphs and Pictographs<\/h2>\n

with Chris Arnett<\/p>\n

Webinar Date:<\/strong>\u00a0January 23, 2025 \/ 12-1pm PT<\/div>\n
\n

Rock art, encompassing both pictographs (paintings) and petroglyphs (carvings), is present throughout British Columbia, marking every First Nation territory. These artworks are created in specific locations and under particular circumstances, reflecting deep cultural significance and histories.<\/p>\n

In conversation with Chris Arnett, we will delve into his recent book,\u00a0Signs of the Time: N\u0142e\u0294kepmx Resistance through Rock Art, which encapsulates over 30 years of his research on the pictographic rock art of the N\u0142e\u0294kepmx, an Interior Salish people.<\/p>\n

Rock art studies, as will be highlighted, must always pay attention to place and space through the lens of Indigenous knowledge. Through the stories passed down by N\u0142e\u0294kepmx Elders and oral traditions our talk will illuminate the resilience of Indigenous peoples and the powerful role that rock art continues to play in safeguarding their land, identity, and traditions.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
