Early Native American Wild Art

Here's an early example of Native American wild art at Meyers Spring, on the northwestern edge of the Lower Pecos Canyonlands in West Texas.  The pictograph site and spring have been a center for human activity for thousands of years, from prehistoric to modern times, first by Indigenous people and later by western settlers.  The rock art panel spans over 300 feet and consists of Pecos River-style pictographs and historic post-contact Indigenous pictographs. This photo is courtesy of the Witte Museum, which conducts tours of the site during the fall & winter. You can find more information about those HERE.
