Long-ago man, smart one, he make many many rock-scribbles, many many picture-tells. He show truth for big Cold-Land tribe. He tell story of very bad chief, 'Stalin-man,' who make many people no-more-breathe, many people go dark forever. He write down sad story of big-boss men who make tribe feel cold, make them no-talk. Bad big-bosses make people quiet, no talk what they see, no talk what they think. Truth-hide very bad. This smart man also see big change. He see Cold-Land get new way, after bad-bosses go. Old sad times slowly change to new times. He make sure everyone know what happened, so tribe not forget. So tribe can learn from dark-days, and hope for sunnier hunt for all. **Boulder-Butt, a sleepy caveguard from the North-Pass tribe:** "Me saw many fires, not good fires, screaming fires when Stalin-man ruled. Very scary. Me hid in cave." **Moss-Hair, a nimble berry-picker near the Great River:** "My grandma, she told stories, but only whispered. Said her mouth sealed by big-boss. Now she can talk, but... too late for some, much pain stay." **Chief Stone-Face, elder of the Council of Elders:** "This smart man, he like big memory-rock. He make sure our children's children know old dark paths, so we no walk them again. Good thinking for tribe future." Story by Sharp-Tooth from Caveman Talk Fire, on the scene.
