- Title: Abstract Man Panel
- Description: The supernatural entities depicted on the sandstone cliffs may represent reproductions of what supplicants encountered in the altered states of consciousness that accompany personal rituals of shaman or medicine men. Such abstract designs may represent spirits, visions or were even believed to be created by spirits as a way to convey power or messages to humans. “Although aboriginal cultures viewed nature as being charged with spiritual energy, this energy was often concentrated in specific natural features, including strangely shaped rocks, large glacial erratic boulders, narrow canyons, and isolated mountain peaks,” Keyser and Klassen write. “These are the same places that draw hikers who want to explore natural features. Even these modern folk feel the spirituality of such places, the vastness of nature, the beauty of their surroundings and the simple pleasure of a scenic view.” James D Keyser; Michael Klassen, Plains Indian Rock Art, Seattle: University of Washington Press; Vancouver, BC: UBC Press, ©2001.
