There are hundreds of Native American cultures, each with
distinctive views of the heavens. In this program, students visit
five cultures: the Hupa people of Northern California, Medicine Wheel
in Northern Wyoming, Chaco Canyon in New Mexico, the Mayan
people and the Incan people. Students observe moon cycles and
changes in the sunrise and sunset positions on the horizon to
learn how these practices help Native Americans stay in tune
with the harmonies of nature. Classroom activities include
working with the Mayan and Aztec number systems, observing
changes in real sunset positions and learning how Venus can
appear as either the "Morning Star" or "Evening Star."
