A petroglyph is a carving or engraving in rock; especially an ancient one. My ancestors left tens of thousands such depictions of their lives on rocks throughout the Great American Southwest. This fellow I have created here displays the Zia (Sun) with its four rays – “To the Zia Indian, the sacred number is embodied in the earth, with its four directions; in the year, with its four seasons; in the day, with the sunrise, noon, evening, and night; in life, with its four divisions—childhood, youth, manhood, and old age. Everything is bound together in a circle of life and love, without beginning, without end.”

Atsá (Diné [Navajo] word for eagle). Eagle, the master of the sky, is considered a carrier of prayers. Many Indian Nations honor this bird as possessing courage, wisdom, and a special connection to the creator. This is often confused with the “thunderbird” image concept. Eagle is also a Directional Protector(the Sky) spirit, and an image associated with spirits and visions. / My depiction represents three Bald Eagles circling about the Sun, here symbolized by the sacred Zia (Zia Pueblo word for ‘Sun’). Its rays marking the four directions; in the year, with its four seasons; in the day, with the sunrise, noon, evening, and night; in life, with its four divisions—childhood, youth, manhood, and old age. Everything is bound together in a circle of life and love, without beginning, without end.
In many indigenous cultures, Lizard can have several meanings; Conservation, agility. Lizard promotes dreaming. Also, ability to let go, elusiveness and able to avoid one’s enemies. This is a recreation of an ancient Mimbres (Mimbreños) culture lizard. The Mimbreños were an ancient people who inhabited the southwestern portion of present day New Mexico. They disappeared, most likely being absorbed into several of the Apache tribes who had located nearby.
Zia Keresean (language of the Zia Pueblo [and other Keres pueblos] in New Mexico) for Sun. New Mexico’s distinctive insignia is the Zia (Sun) Symbol, which originated with the Indians of Zia Pueblo (north central New Mexico) in ancient times. Its design reflects their tribal philosophy, with its wealth of pantheistic spiritualism teaching the basic harmony of all things in the universe. Four is the sacred number of Zia, and the figure is composed of a circle from which four points radiate. These points made up of four straight lines of varying length personify the number most often used by the Giver of all good gifts. To the Zia Indian, the sacred number is embodied in the earth, with its four directions; in the year, with its four seasons; in the day, with the sunrise, noon, evening, and night; in life, with its four divisions—childhood, youth, manhood, and old age. Everything is bound together in a circle of life and love, without beginning, without end. The Zia believe, too, that in this great brotherhood of all things, man has four sacred obligations: he must develop a strong body, a clear mind, a pure spirit, and a devotion to the welfare of his people. This is the symbol which adorns the flag of New Mexico.
The Mesteño War Pony – “Mesteño” means mustang in spanish. It was the Spaniards who introduced the horse into North America by way of colonization of New Mexico in the 16th century. The horses brought by the Spanish were more often than not, stolen from the herds of the colonists. Thus the indian was provided a mode of transportation that sparked mobilization among the various nations. Horse cultures, such as the Sioux, Comanche, and Cheyenne emerged. Hunting of buffalo was augmented by the horse. Inter-tribal conflicts, too. Here, this War Pony is painted with white “See Better” rings around its eyes, white hail stones on the cheeks signifying unstoppable power; a blue thunderbolt depicting the power of the Thunder Beings; red crosses under the thunderbolt are fire symbols representing the result of the warrior’s attacks. The use of the White (mind), Blue (spirit), and Red (body) are very powerful when used correctly. One of Creator’s most noble creations.
