In Native America, the stars are more than sparkly lights in the night sky. They reveal our origin stories, hero stories or moral teachings. We’re telling star stories and discussing why the stars are important for those of us on Earth. Why are the stars important to you?

 

Guests:

Wilfred Buck (Cree from the Opaskwayak Cree Nation) – science facilitator with the Manitoba First Nations Education Resource center.

Michael Wassegijig-Price (Anishinaabe) – professor at Leech Lake Tribal College

Ishmael Hope (Tlingit and Inupiaq) – storyteller and Native scholar
