Storied Rocks (Tumpituxwinap) is a term of reference used by the Numic speaking tribal elders whom we have worked with for over 60 years on an estimated 200 ethnographic studies. Key to this analysis are the protocols for approaching, interacting, and using the places where Storied Rocks have been located. Concomitant with these traditional protocols are ones established to resolve the curiosity of non-Natives about why they are in a particular place and what they mean. This analysis shares the cultural understandings of tribal representatives who participate in these ethnographic studies. Studies used in the analysis were funded by U.S. federal agencies, supported by federally recognized Native American tribal governments, and composed with the cultural understandings shared and made public by tribally appointed elders to clarify the conundrums that are Storied Rocks.

Storied Rocks （Tumpituxwinap） 是讲努米克语的部落长老使用的参考术语，我们与他们合作了 60 多年，进行了大约 200 项民族志研究。这项分析的关键是接近、互动和使用 Storied Rocks 所在地点的协议。与这些传统协议相伴的是那些旨在解决非本地人对他们为什么在特定地方以及它们意味着什么的好奇心。该分析与参与这些民族志研究的部落代表的文化理解相同。分析中使用的研究由美国联邦机构资助，得到联邦认可的美洲原住民部落政府的支持，并由部落任命的长者分享和公开的文化理解组成，以阐明 Storied Rocks 的难题。
