For thousands of years throughout the Great Plains, Indian artists left pictographs (paintings or drawings) and petroglyphs (carved pictures) on boulders and rock walls. Plains Indian warriors drew and painted various images on buffalo robes, teepees, and paper. Warrior art was a unique combination of art, communication tool, and record to pass down to future generations.
