【摘要】
印第安原住民日常生活中使用的象形文字不但能够交流思想，而且能够记录事件。不但能记录简单事件，也能记录复杂的事件。不但有简单的构图形式，还有繁复的类似于后世“连环画”的形式。主要用于墓志和人物传记，狩猎、采摘和旅行，战争或战役的记录，以及著名的冬日记事等。
Abstract：The picogroghs, used by native Americans in their social life, not only functioned as a communication tool, but also a recording equipment. They can be used to record complex events besides simple events. And their composition forms are not only easy, but complicated. The complicated one is similar to the form of comic. They are maily used to recording biography, hunting, picking, expedition, battle, and notable tribal or intertribal events.
