A classic example of a coastal human figure; broad sweeping eyebrows, raised hands, a three pronged nose, and teeth. Priapism is one possible aspect of the trance experience undertaken by shamanic initiates.

The upper panel at Port John; one step away from the cliff face would be one step too many.

- This site is one of the more impressive rock art sites on the entire Northwest Coast. Here you can see “coppers” and two bird images linked with a painted line.

A row of stick figures, a canoe with a line running as an arc from stem to stern, and other pictographs are situated at the edge of a rather impressive vertical drop where the gradually tapering ledge ends. Such “stick men” are in a style commonly found in the interior of British Columbia and north central Washington state.

This is how tracings are made; you may wonder if I am defying the law of gravity. I had to pull up with my left hand while tracing with my right until I experienced what rock climbers call “sewing machine leg”, at which point I would cap the pen and lunge upward to grasp the ropes at the upper left for my “break time”.

This was one of my “cliff hanger” experiences while documenting pictographs in 1984. You can see me crouching on the ridge formed by a large crack in the granite, and very faint red areas about a dozen feet further up the crack.

Here we have a painting of a historic sidewheeler steamship, dating the pictograph to some time in the mid to late 1800s.
