Pertains to a collection of Indigenous created petroglyphs found by Edward Meade, an amateur archaeologist, along the coast of Alaska and the Columbia River.

Some of the locations in which petroglyphs were found include, but are not limited to the following; Northern Alaska, Tlingit Country, Bella Bella Country, Bella Coola, Haida Country, Southern Kwakiutl, Nootkan Territory and Nanaimo. While not Indigenous himself, Meade talks of the history of the petroglyphs and attempts to access the changes, meanings and his observations.
