North Amerindian Literacy before the White Man: The Allegory of Mystic Cave.

Winchester, Ian

Interchange, v28 n1 p71-82 Jan 1997

Discusses Mystic Cave, where a Canadian rancher discovered unusual historic pictographs in 1905, examining the rancher's efforts to have the markings recognized as scientifically important and noting how his prejudice against North American Indians was similar to the scientific community's prejudice against him as an amateur. Includes examples of correspondence. (SM)
