Description
"This monograph, the result of years of study and discussion with tribal elders, is an important addition to our knowledge of Native American sky-related traditions. It demonstrates that knowledge of star and sun watching practices is very much alive in some tribal contexts, despite centuries of acculturation and attempts by the dominant society to root out such 'pagan' sacred observances. It also provides important lessons for other tribal groups who wish to retain more of their traditional practices for their descendants" (p. iii).
