<p class="MsoNormal">Rock art, including pictographs (paintings) and petroglyphs (carvings), is found throughout British Columbia in every First Nations territory. Wherever it appears, rock art is created with deep consideration of specific places and circumstances.
Join Chris Arnett as he explores the historical and cultural significance of rock art in his recent book, Signs of the Time N<span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">ɬʔ</span>kepmx Resistance Through Rock Art. With over thirty years of research on the
pictographic rock art of the N<span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">ɬʔ</span>kepmx, an Interior Salish people, this talk will highlight how rock art studies must always consider place and space through the lens of Indigenous knowledge.<o:p></o:p></p>
