Part 1 

Pictures:

A long time ago the Plains people wrote on rocks, cave walls, and on scraps of buffalo hide.  These pictographs told stories of their battles, heroes, and daily life.

They also acted as warnings. There is a story about a Plains family who saw a picture sign by the side of a creek. This picture clearly told of an enemy camp just ahead. The family could tell that the writing was recent.

There had been little wear to the message, and the weather had been wet. They quickly turned and took another route.
