Petroglyph vandalism is not a victimless crime

In late April, at the site known as Birthing Rock near Moab, Utah, vandals defaced thousand-year-old petroglyphs, scrawling the words “white power” and other obscene graffiti, including an ejaculating penis, across the red sandstone. Only one of the boulder’s four petroglyph panels remained unscathed. The vandalism came just a few weeks after a rock climber bolted climbing routes over petroglyphs near the Sunshine Slabs, north of Utah’s Arches National Park.   “I think people view these (incidents) as a victimless crime, and they are not.” The recent acts of vandalism are a reminder of the need for greater protection and more education about public lands, Indigenous archaeologists say. “A lot of people have no clue about contemporary Indigenous peoples and their connection to archaeological resources,” Ashleigh Thompson (Red Lake Ojibwe), a doctoral candidate in archaeology at University of Arizona and an avid rock climber, said. “I think people view these (inci

Birthing Rock vandalism highlights tensions between public lands and Indigenous sacred places

[Read “1,000-year-old petroglyphs marred by graffiti” -ed.] “Civilization here is supposed to be at a higher level, and yet we degrade ourselves by doing stuff like this,” Lee said. UDB is a nonprofit with representatives from five tribes in the Southwest—the Navajo, Hopi, Zuni, Ute Mountain Ute and Uintah Ouray Ute—that strives to preserve and protect cultural and natural resources of ancestral Native American lands for the benefit and healing of people and the earth.
