Summary
For tens of thousands of years, indigenous North American people have developed critical relationships with the stars, planets, and galaxies, from intelligent observation to navigation, celestial architecture and sustainable engineering. The indigenous North American people viewed the sun, the moon, and the stars as a way to integrate human behaviour and nature. Celestial objects were believed to reveal the fundamental order of the world. This book discusses the extent and importance that cosmology held within the Indigenous North American culture, how the beliefs differed between indigenous groups, and its significance in shaping our understanding of astronomy and cosmology today.
