"My grandfather told us that these images are not done by humans . . ."

"My grandfather told us that these images are not done by humans. They are not done by Indians. They are done by beings with spiritual powers and they tell us stories of all kinds - stories of their travels, their beliefs
. . .

"But (he cautioned): don't let anyone tell you they are done by humans because they are not. They are done by somebody greater than a human."
