Gabriola Island (one of the Gulf Islands on the west coast) is home to numerous, important ancient native rock carvings. In Gabriola: Petroglyph Island, Mary and Ted Bentley examine the sacred spiritual images of these Northwest Coast native artforms. The authors' thoughtful approach stems from their deep commitment to the preservation of petroglyph sites and to the respectful study of the aboriginal culture which produced these enigmatic and magical carvings. This completely revised edition includes an examination of many newly discovered petroglyphs and new photographs and rubbings.
