Decades of research explore the legends, history, and cultural wisdom preserved in Native American stone carvings.<\/div>\n

MARIETTA, GA – September 17, 2026 –<\/strong> Long before many Native American traditions were recorded in books, they were preserved through stories passed from one generation to the next and through images carved into stone. Across the Pacific Northwest, petroglyphs and oral traditions carried history, beliefs, and teachings for centuries. In LEGENDS-2: Stones Cry Out<\/em>, the authors share interpretations entrusted to them by Native American elders and community members, offering readers a deeper appreciation of these traditions.<\/p>\n

LEGENDS-2: Stones Cry Out<\/a> by Willard Tewee<\/strong> and Laqaixit Tewee<\/strong> is the result of twenty-five years of research and conversations with Native American elders. Combining oral traditions, historical photographs, original artwork, and interpretations of ancient petroglyphs, the book preserves stories and cultural knowledge handed down through generations. Rather than presenting the carvings as unexplained relics, the authors present them as records of history, spiritual beliefs, migrations, hunting traditions, and moral teachings shared with them over decades of research.<\/p>\n

Among the book’s most memorable accounts is The Legend of the Lake of the Lost Spirits, shared by Warm Springs elder Bruce Jim. The story follows Chief Plain Feather, whose pursuit of a sacred white elk becomes a lesson about greed, self-discipline, and respect for the Creator’s laws. Like many of the traditions preserved in the book, it reflects values passed from one generation to the next.<\/p>\n

Available now on Amazon<\/a>, LEGENDS-2: Stones Cry Out<\/em> is more than a collection of legends. It brings together Native American stories and cultural knowledge the authors spent twenty-five years preserving for future generations. For readers interested in Native American history, oral traditions, and the meaning behind ancient petroglyphs, the book offers an opportunity to experience traditions shared with the authors by elders and community members who helped carry them forward.<\/p>\n
