1) The document discusses a famous Leonid meteor storm that occurred in November 1833 and was recorded by many Native American tribes in their winter counts.
2) Winter counts were pictorial calendars used by Plains Indian tribes to record significant annual events. Many winter counts included an image depicting the meteor storm of 1833 with stars or a star cluster.
3) The meteor storm was so spectacular that it left a lasting impression and was commemorated in winter counts, rock art, and other artistic traditions of Native Americans across North America for generations after the event.
The cave of life, petrified forest national
The Cave of Life in Petrified Forest National Park, Arizona contains petroglyphs on the interior walls, including a panel depicting a fertility ceremony. The panel shows a couple engaged in ritual intercourse, Kokopelli the fertility figure, and a shaman equipped for ritual. Elements of the panel emphasize fertility, like the ritual intercourse and erect phallus. At a time aligned with astronomical events before winter solstice, Hopi people may have used the cave to time a fertility ceremony.
The 1868 winter campaign of the 5th cavalry
The document summarizes the 1868 winter campaign of the 5th Cavalry regiment. It describes how in December 1868, the 5th Cavalry left Fort Lyons, Colorado under the command of Major Eugene A. Carr as part of General Sheridan's campaign against Plains tribes. Two famous scouts, Buffalo Bill Cody and Wild Bill Hickok, assisted the cavalry. During a blizzard in Soldier and Freezeout Canyons, trooper J. O'Hare of Company I carved his initials in a rock shelter, fearing they may not survive.
Rock art of oahu, hawaii
This document provides photographs and descriptions of various examples of ancient Hawaiian rock art found on the island of Oahu. The rock art includes pecked images of dogs, human figures, and deities carved into boulders and stones. Some of the sites discussed are located in Waikiki, Nu'uanu Valley, Wahiawa, and Moanalua Valley. The document also mentions that some viewers have interpreted the spiral designs at the Kukaniloko birthing stones as having potential archaeoastronomical significance.
Petroglyph chronology in southeast colorado
This document summarizes Peter Faris's 1995 research on the chronology of petroglyph styles in southeastern Colorado. It identifies 6 main styles - Pecked Abstract, Pecked Representational, Purgatoire Petroglyph, Great Plains Regional, Plains Biographic, and Tallyform/Ogam-like - and provides estimated date ranges for each based on previous research. However, the author notes that the cation-ratio dating method used has since been discredited. Alternative dating methods like carbon-14 dating and analyzing stratigraphy and symbol associations are recommended.
The influence of fossil footprints on rock art
Native Americans noticed fossil tracks in their environment and had explanations for them involving mythological creatures. Examples show pictographs and petroglyphs that seem to reproduce fossil tracks, proving they had observed them. At Cub Creek in Dinosaur National Monument, a panel of large lizard petroglyphs is located near a fossil track site. The petroglyphs are proportioned to represent creatures around 30 feet long, correlating with the size of dinosaurs that left tracks at the nearby site. This suggests the giant lizards depicted were inspired by observing fossil tracks in the area.
Depictions of halley's comet in native american rock art
This document discusses depictions of Halley's Comet in Native American rock art from the southwestern United States. It describes how ancestral Pueblo peoples who lived in New Mexico between the 13th and 15th centuries likely witnessed the appearances of Halley's Comet in 1066, 1301, and 1456. Their rock art features symbols that evolved from simple stars and birds into anthropomorphized figures wearing star headdresses, reflecting their observations and interpretations of the comet. This suggests Halley's Comet was an important astronomical phenomenon in their culture that influenced their artistic traditions.
