Between Earth and Sky: Indigenous Star Lessons from Turtle Island

Throughout human history, cultures around the world have been applying the latest version of “cutting edge technology” to explain and explore scientific phenomena. Using the technology of the ExploraDome program, Dakota science educator Jim Rock will take us on a comprehensive journey of the night sky as the indigenous people of Minnesota see and understand it.

Located at the Weisman Art Museum in the Shepherd Room
