•Telling a story. The natives peoples wanted to tell hunting stories, stories of their families and what life was like.•Communicating their beliefs. Often rock art shows us what the various tribes worshiped or held in high importance•Communicating with others. Traveling tribes would leave drawings to tell others where water and game was. Maybe what areas to avoid. Newspaper rock was one of those places. It was an information center. Tribes traveling through would gather info there and share anything they needed to. Look at it again and see if you can guess anything they were trying to communicate.
