Paint Rock's sacred rock art site

It’s time for West Texas Roots, where we uncover the stories etched into the land, language, and lives of the people who’ve called this region home for generations.

We join educator and cultural interpreter Jeremy Elliott at a sacred rock art site in the Concho Valley. As he walks us through one panel in particular—marked with symbols and solar alignments—he uncovers more than just ancient art. He explores the ways Plains people recorded language, marked time, and passed down their understanding of life, death, and ceremony.
