Astronomy in Native Cultures & How to Make Sun Daggers with NWA Space
This video by Dr. Katherine Auld of NWA Space shares just a few of the ways that Native American cultures display their connections to astronomy. We often think astronomy is all about Hubble Space Telescope images and ultra-modern technology forgetting that astronomy, at its core, is a connection to the sky.
The end of the video shares how you can create a calendar in your back yard with a stick, a few rocks, and a spot open to the Sun.
