The petroglyphs depict an enormous range of images and scenes from humans going about their daily activities, to gods, shamans, animals, solar symbols, geometric shapes and boats.  The local Anishnawbe people and other native Algonquin tribes of Ontario call the rock slab Kinomagewapkong, meaning “the rocks that teach”. The Native people see these rock carvings as a source of great spiritual wisdom. The whole area is considered to be a holy place where you could go to enter into the spirit world where nature and the symbols of the rocks became one. There is an intermittent underground stream that, when the water level is high, causes sounds to burble up through the rocks. These noises, along with the sounds of the wind and the rain as they pass the rocks often imitate human voices and Native people believed this was the “Voice of the Spirits” speaking to them? “ - REFERENCE: “ANCIENT ORIGINS MAGAZINE”
