Document Summary
People are looking and studying this now still: pictographs - pictures that are representing speech, petroglyph. One of the best places to see petroglyphs is in petroglyphs provincial park near. There are only remnants of people that use this method on some level and this is fading fast. The crucial clue here is, does it represent of oral speech or is it just pointers to a story or something you can interpret any way you would like. It ended up being a "party game" that people had to guess what it meant and was never meant to be sent. None of the symbols are really meaningful in a way that it was shared amongst people. No one would have understood what it meant if they weren"t already aware of the situation within the village. Other "birch" representations have been found but none have been documented as if it was understood what it meant.
