Native Skywatchers and the Ojibwe Giizhig Anung Masinaaigan-Ojibwe Sky Star Map

The Native Skywatchers programming addresses the loss of Ojibwe and Dakota star knowledge. The goal is to help preserve indigenous astronomy and pass it on to future generations. The star knowledge will serve as a cornerstone inspiration for native communities and at the same time be influential to Native students interested in science and math. Presented here is the Ojibwe Giizhig Anung Masinaaigan-Ojibwe Sky Star Map created by Annette Lee and collaborators as part of the Native Skywatchers Middle School Teachers Workshop held June 2012.
