Summary

Our Science Questers go in search of star knowledge and build a medicine wheel; Kai shows us how to make a star projector. Coyote tells his Cochiti cousin's legend, the Jar of Stars. And we learn about the formation and characteristics of Grandfather Sun and the moons in our solar system. M?tis Cree actor, Roseanne Supernault, talks about the blanket of stars that watch over us, Grandmother moon who guides us, and Grandfather Sun who provides light and warmth. Animation illustrates the Ininewuk (Cree) traditional Wolf Star (North Star) Story told by grandmother. Shishalah Elder, Xwu'p'a'lich Barbara Higgins shares some Sechelt star stories. Chickasaw Nation astronaut, John Herrington, describes his space flight experience, and tells us about the stone monuments, medicine wheels, built by North American indigenous people to chart the skies and mark the seasons. The stones line up with the sun's position on our equinoxes and solstices. And indigenous people in the South Pacific predict weather by reading the twinkling of the stars
