Description

Although modern life and Christianity have not drastically affected the sacred places, their religious systems and related practices, there is a decline in their popularity, in favour of Christianity, which has diverted people from the traditional practices and beliefs. The community still insists that these sacred spots are to be protected. Rock art and paintings can be a major economic force. But more fundamentally, the art is part of who the people are. It makes them feel complete. It links them to their past and expresses their ideas, thoughts and values. Some of the drawings are about their healing practices, which release comfort and satisfaction as they watch them. Some are about dances, associated with healing, thus engaging the mind and body into a spirit of dance and celebration. It is a symbol of collective identity, activity and history.
