Rock Art and Native Americans: A View from South Dakota

Abstract

As highly visible features of the archaeological landscape, rock art sites require special management aconsiderations. Native Americans contacted as part of a state-wide rock art survey in 1992-93 had firm, and sometimes surprising, views regarding such issues as opening sites for public visitation, interpretive materials, and site preservation. Public education, site protection, and studies of oral traditions concerning rock art sites were viewed favorably by the Native Americans participating in the survey. Developing sites for public visitation raised concerns about protecting the privacy of individuals using the sites for religious purposes. Personal interviews were more successful than questionnaires in gathering Native American views on rock art site management.
