Living in Balance: Anishinaabe Star Knowledge

Media Release: Join us for a planetarium experience exploring the full dome video production "Living in Balance - Anishinaabe Star Knowledge" that highlights Anishinaabe stories of constellations and moons in relation to contemporary insights about environmental changes. Teachings shared by native skywatchers Carl Gawboy, William Wilson and Dr. Annette S. Lee are narrated by Aarin Dokum with Anishinaabemowin translations by Alphonse Pitawanakwat set to art by Elizabeth LaPensee.
