Today, on Good Medicine with Wilfred Buck…
We embark on a voyage through Indigenous Star Lore!
Wilfred shares his journey of rediscovering Indigenous astronomy and incorporating it into education. He highlights the importance of recognizing diverse perspectives in astronomy and the interconnectedness of all cultures. Buck discusses teachings from the sky, such as the alignment of stars mirroring the structure of a sweat lodge, and the story of how humans acquired dogs. He emphasizes the need to listen to the stars and learn from them.
Today’s exploration highlighted the significance of acknowledging diverse viewpoints in astronomy, grasping the interconnectedness of cultures worldwide, drawing wisdom from celestial teachings, and integrating Indigenous wisdom into educational frameworks.
Remember Wilfeds wise words, “Every culture had the good idea to go outside at night and look at the sky” and “We come from that sky world”.To learn more about the amazing things Wilfred Buck is sharing, please visit https://acakwuskwun.com
