An Image of the Creator


In the Blackfoot country of southern Alberta, Canada, archaeologists have identified this scatter of stones an an image of the creator god Napi:
A map of the Napi effigy - it's about five meters by five meters in size and was created with rocks the size of a fist. You can see Napi's arms, legs, head, torso and genitalia. The dark coloured stones are ones that have been disturbed, moved from their original position. There is a depression in the torso area, as represented by the circle.
