This is a sacred site in a mixed grassland prairie region on the northern edge of the Great Plains,
on the border between Canada and the United States of America.
The Blackfoot Confederacy has left engravings and paintings on the sandstone walls and landscape features,
which bear witness to spirit messages. The rock art has been made in the valley for thousands of years,
with most of the images dating to the later Pre-contact and early Post-contact periods
(1,000 years BP to the mid- nineteenth century), with the oldest art possibly dating up to ca. 3,000 years BP.
The landscape is considered to be sacred by the Blackfoot people,
and centuries-old traditions are perpetuated today in various ceremonies..
Thank you very much Lynn for sending the beautiful site card once again as the earlier one must have lost in transit.
