White Shaman Panel Presentation

White Shaman Panel: The Coahuiltecan Creation Journey lecture series in San Marcos, Texas


A never before revealed and historically significant body of work about the creation story of the Coahuiltecan people and their relationship to an ancient spiritual ceremony that has survived for thousands of years.
Dr. Mario Garza and Gary Perez reveal their research and study of the White Shaman Panel, a 4,000 year-old rock art painting located near Comstock, Texas. For the past several years, Dr. Garza and Perez have steadily made progress on deciphering the symbols and figures painted on the rock shelter.
Together with scientists and Institute associates who support this work, they have gleaned and confirmed sufficient information to describe an initial narrative about the White Shaman panel and to begin sharing their knowledge with the general public.
