I’m learning more about rock art in other parts of Canada. Here are reproductions and photos of aboriginal rock paintings or pictographs along the Saskatchewan portion of the Churchill River. These are taken from the book The Aboriginal Rock Paintings of the Churchill River by Tim E. H. Jones.

He writes: “At least 70 aboriginal rock painting sites are known in Saskatchewan north of the 55th parallel and perhaps two dozen more occur in northern Manitoba. The Churchill River, a major historic waterway, spans this northern area and possesses an important series of rock art sites.[…] From the evidence of Cree and Ojibwa Indian oral traditions, and early European explorers’ writings, many of the paintings are known to be at least 200-300 years old, but archaeological cross-dating evidence from the Ural Mountains in the Soviet Union suggests that our paintings could be 3,500 years old or more. The Urals rock paintings occur in very similar geological and climatic circumstances to the northern Canadian ones.”

There are some interesting links to explore here, such as how the reproductions were made, and how to find the sites by canoe (click on the “canoe route” numbers next to the pictograph illustrations).

UPDATE Nov.5.2013 – all but the last link are dead. A second edition of the book is available here. Some general information can be found at the Saskatchewan Archaeology Society pages.
