These carvings are significant to the social and philosophical teachings of the Ojibway people, but the precise meanings are carefully shrouded in mystery.

    "and know that there were people once, who had wisdom" Or maybe who SOUGHT for wisdom. Valued it. Today people seek for gain, at the expense of the earth and of others. They have forgotten how to hear. Lost the path to knowing.

    It’s true and there is no limit to greed ,when I was young I heard men say greed is good ,,people disliked their saying but admired their money ..they changed the wording to Aspiration …and now we have supposedly to be billionaires to find happiness ..Recently the timing of the first trillionaire was predicted…by one of the billionaires …I’m not so sure this is a good thing to aspire to ..It won’t be life as I know it .

    My grand dad taught me how to move the chess pieces but stopped at that. I am not upset I am not a grand master. Learning to lose is an important lesson, I think.

    Beautiful! Thank you for sharing this moving story about how your elders shared wisdom. The setting is beautiful and the pictures inspire so many questions. The younger generations are blessed to have access to elders who remember. I was most intrigued by the aspect of ‘prophets’ who come along after a generation or so and translate the meaning of dreams recorded in the pictographs. I have never read about that before. Bless you for taking your responsibility to teach others seriously, you are a blessing to your people!

    How I wish I lived in the places that are beautiful. Not where man as taken away her naturel beauty. All I can see are buildings and buildings. They keep killing the woods so they can build their dam buildings. There are so many apartments and Condos, but not enough naturel beauty. It rips the joy of ones true life. Then they wonder why we have so many crime. Thank you for this beautiful video. It made me feel at peace.

    It starts in the east, moves to the south andends in the west. This is a star map, probably showing what the sky looks like just as springtime arrives. It will show the dífferent constellations, if you go there at this time you should be able to see what thé symbols represent just before the sunrise. This is the callender all cultures used worldwide.

    What year was this film? I saw the petroglyphs as a child in the 1970s when we lived in Omemee, before they were covered by the interpretive center. Later in life I found some pictographs near a Lake. One of them looked like a black horned serpent. We thought it looked like the shape of the lake. It seemed to be very old. And there was a red pictograph next to it which looked like a man with a raised arm.

    The history is written in the stones, my friends. Did you want to ever see what the ancient people looked like? What it was that they cared about? Spoiler, they cared about their families, and children just like we do. Look at the photo realistic portrait on my avatar. All of the artifacts were found when they destroyed what the locals called the “Indian burial grounds” in Graham, North Carolina. According to the local indigenous representative, it could be an old village, right along the Haw river.

    There are wise people in all generations of humanity. There are wise people now, in the world. And they are not all indigenous. The Creator makes no "race" or "color" distinctions. That said, a lot of these symbols are not a "mystery". The channel FPV Angel on youtube is decoding them. They speak of the Earth's technology, Creator's Glory.
