Messages Left By The Ancestors (By Brock Michael the Storyteller)

This video was made by me Brock Michael to help people understand the wealth of Native American culture. When European explorers arrived in America, Native Americans did not communicate through writing as we know it. Instead, they told stories (oral histories) and created pictures and symbols. This type of communication is not unique to Native Americans, as long before writing was developed, people around the world recorded events, ideas, plans, maps, and feelings by drawing pictures and symbols on rocks, hides, and other surfaces.
