Deep within the majestic landscapes of Moab, Utah, a remarkable natural canvas known as Tse' Hone', or "rock that tells stories," stands as a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the Diné (Navajo) and other indigenous cultures. Commonly referred to as Newspaper Rock, this remarkable rock formation hosts a collection of intricate petroglyphs dating back to the 1st century CE, offering an invaluable glimpse into the history and stories of the Mocutz (Fremont), Diné, and Ancestral Pueblo peoples throughout the centuries.
Newspaper Rock is a sacred site for the Diné and other native cultures, embodying a profound connection to their ancestral lands and traditions. The stone canvas acts as a storyteller, recounting the tales, spiritual beliefs, and daily life activities of those who once inhabited the region. The intricate carvings etched upon the rock face offer a tangible link to the past, cementing the importance of this location as a place where history, culture, and spirituality converge.
The earliest petroglyphs found on Newspaper Rock date back to the 1st century CE. These carvings were created by the Mocutz culture, a group of early indigenous people who flourished in the region. Symbolic representations of animals, hunting scenes, and geometric patterns adorn the rock's surface, offering a priceless peek into the daily lives and artistic expressions of these ancient civilizations.
Over the centuries, the petroglyphs on Newspaper Rock continued to evolve as new cultures left their distinctive marks. The Ancestral Pueblo peoples, also referred to as the Anasazi, made their own contributions to the rock's narrative, adding to the ongoing story. The Ancestral Pueblo were skilled farmers and artisans, whose unique artwork reflected their spiritual beliefs, cosmology, and agricultural practices.
The Diné, or Navajo, people have a deep-rooted connection with Newspaper Rock. For the Diné, the petroglyphs are seen as a bridge between their present lives and the wisdom and experiences of their ancestors. The rock holds a sacredness that is revered and respected, as well as serving as a visual reminder of the importance of preserving their culture and heritage.
Deciphering the precise meanings behind the intricate petroglyphs on Newspaper Rock can be complex. However, through archaeological and cultural research, some insights have been obtained. Animals depicted often symbolize hunting scenes or may hold spiritual significance. Geometric patterns may represent astronomical events, migration routes, or cycles of renewal. The diversity and complexity of the rock's carvings highlight the diversity of cultures and beliefs that have shaped this sacred landscape.
The preservation and protection of Newspaper Rock have been of utmost importance over the years. Recognizing its cultural and historical significance, efforts have been made to safeguard this unique site for future generations. Visitors are encouraged to appreciate the petroglyphs while respecting their sacred nature by refraining from touching or damaging the rock face.
Newspaper Rock, or Tse' Hone', stands as a remarkable testament to human ingenuity, culture, and spirituality. Through the carvings left by the Mocutz, Diné, and Ancestral Pueblo peoples, this sacred site offers an invaluable glimpse into the lives and traditions of those who came before us. As the rock tells stories that transcend time and speak to the interconnectedness of humanity, it is our responsibility to honor and protect this extraordinary treasure, preserving it as both a historical wonder and a symbol of cultural continuity

I will never meet colonial beauty standards. My face shape is too round, too squishy they said. My eyes squint too close together they told me. My skin complexion changes too often from ivory in the winter to a deep brown in the summer that resembles dirt they yelled. My body is too stocky and compact, way too big b***d they discerned. I am proud I will NEVER meet colonial beauty standards because my ancestors carved me carefully by hand as they did their beautiful ivory piec…

Thank you Connie for these 2 White Buffalo you shared…

I don't know why this hasn't received more publicity, but this fifty-foot sculpture was unveiled recently in South Dakota.
It's called 'Dignity' and was done by artist Dale Lamphere to honor the women of the Sioux Nation.
