Along the Pacific coast can be found petroglyphs.  These are illustrations, but not writings, made by early natives.  They refer to stories which were once known verbally.

​

The petroglyphs recorded dreams, rituals, and spirits that humans might come in contact with on beaches, waters, streams, skies, and land.
