Cabeza de Vaca as Interpreter of Lower Pecos Rock Art

Post-Script to Brandon Seale's podcast on Cabeza de Vaca.From a speech I gave at the Witte Museum in San Antonio, this is my attempt to argue that we can actually hear the themes of the famed Lower Pecos Rock Art expressed by Cabeza de Vaca in his attempt to take on the role of a "spirit guide" for the native Americans who joined him on his journey. If true, this would be compelling confirmation of the most recent scholarly interpretations of that Lower Pecos Rock Art and the worldviews of the people who created it.Selected BibliographyAdorno, Rolena and Patrick Charles Pautz. Álvar Núñez Cabeza de Vaca (1999)Boyd, Carolyn.
