Reading the White Shaman Mural
Eric A. Powell, 2017. Archaeology, November/December 2017.
Magazine feature that walks through Boyd's identifications of the mural's figures (the five black ancestor figures, the headless white figure, the serpent-catfish, the antlered deer, the Dawn Mountain arch) and gives the panel as about 13 feet tall and 26 feet wide. Quotes Harry Shafer in support and Carolyn Tate calling the links provocative but not conclusive, and reports that some researchers doubt linking myths separated by thousands of years.
What it's used for here
The figures as Boyd names them and the reception of her reading.
