"Some objects carved on West Virginia boulders also appear as figures on the birch bark scrolls of the Ojibwa. "

According to Oppenheimer the Ojibwa have the highest % of the halpotype X gene (some call it European) than all other Indian groups in America.

If Robert Byrd drew 'em once, he can draw 'em again.

Robert Byrd has so much power in his state, you'd think he could channel some of it for art preservation. Oh wait, the Dems only protect "art" like Robert Maplethorpe's crucifix stuck in urine.
