George Creed - Mi'kmaq Petroglyphs
Tracing of a petroglyph of a small rounded structure, perhaps a sweatlodge
Date: 1888
Petroglyph tracings L: Nondescript and unclassified #7. 6 negatives. Marion Robertson's Rock Drawings of the Micmac Indians interpret this petroglyph as "Perhaps a sweat-bath lodge, which was a small rounded structure covered in bark from top to bottom and entirely closed, except for a small opening through which the Indians crawled to steam themselves in the vapour from cold water poured over hot stones."
