description: Over the last forty years Kentucky's Red River Gorge has become a place of refuge for people seeking escape from the more stressful environs of cities and suburbs. Almost 500 years ago Native American refugees brought with them more than the mixed genes circulating in their blood. In their cognitive memory came design motifs and meanings laced with Mississippian, Mayan/Aztec, Mediterranean, and Asian influence. Their art was carved in the rocks of the Cumberland Plateau.
