Thunder and Herds by Lawrence L. Loendorf

Even after a person makes it back to their settlement, they will remain in a daze forever. The Little People are known too to put a spell or enchantment on a person, causing them confusion and getting lost. It is, however, unsafe and unwise to follow that sound. Sometimes a person will hear their drums in the mountains. Legends told by the Cherokee say the Little People love music, especially drumming, singing, and dancing. They often travel in groups of five to seven, sometimes on land or by canoe on waterways. Some stories describe the Little People as “hairy-faced dwarfs.” In other places, petroglyphs depict them with horns on their head. This article post will focus on the Little People of Native American beliefs and folklore. Places such as Ireland, Hawaii, Greece, the Philippines, New Zealand, and Flores Island all have their own stories and legends. With each page, the reader will be engaged in a compelling, and comprehensive story that focuses equally on the art and the archaeology of the prehistoric plains.Stories abound in the folklore and myths of numerous cultures around the world of Little People. Archaeologists are shown how rock art integrates with other materials available for study.

Clues to understanding rock art can be found in other images, in associated artifacts, and in ethnographic analogy. This refreshing approach to rock art studies reminds us that archaeologists glean information from the whole site and everything that may have occurred there, rather than simply focusing on the images on stone.

Even more, it presents an engaging combination of Plains archaeology, rock art sites, and holistic archaeological research. This volume is the first summary and synthesis of the rock art of the American High Plains, from Archaic times to the historic period.
