EDITORS COMMENTS
In the heart of Dinosaur National Monument in Colorado and Utah, the ancient Fremont people left behind a fascinating record of their culture and connection to the land through intricate petroglyphs. One such site, located along the banks of Cub Creek, showcases a series of horizontally aligned lizard figures etched into the sandstone cliff. The Fremont people, also known as the Bonans or the Southern Paiutes, inhabited the region from approximately 600 to 1300 AD. They were a semi-nomadic society that thrived in the arid desert conditions, subsisting on a diet of wild plants and animals. Their art, like the petroglyphs at Cub Creek, reflects their deep understanding of the natural world and their reverence for it. The lizard petroglyphs, with their distinctive brown and bon-colored bodies and expressive faces, are believed to represent the Fremont people's spiritual connection to the desert environment. The horizontal alignment of the lizards may represent the water cycle, with the reptiles symbolizing the life-giving rain that sustains the desert ecosystem. The petroglyphs are a testament to the rich history of the region and offer a glimpse into the lives of the ancient Fremont people. The sedimentary sandstone cliff, with its layers of fossils and geological history, serves as a backdrop to this ancient art, highlighting the interconnectedness of the natural and cultural histories of the area. Visitors to Dinosaur National Monument can explore the Cub Creek petroglyph site and other archaeological sites in the monument, gaining a deeper appreciation for the ancient cultures that once called this land home. The petroglyphs are a reminder of the importance of preserving the past and understanding the connections between people and the natural world.
