Touching the Sky Dome: Stories of the Sun, Moon and Stars

Touching the Sky Dome: Stories of the Sun, Moon and Stars

Come hear how Coyote becomes the moon (Kalispel), how Grandmother Spider steals the Sun (Muskogee/Creek), how Fisher goes to Sky Land and changes into the Big Dipper (Anishinabe/Chippewa) and how Nagah, the mountain goat, becomes the North Star (Paiute). This performance uses songs, chants, native instruments and stories that are carefully chosen from among the native cultures found throughout North America and beyond. Participants are immersed in an experience of the great sky dome that arches overhead.

An excellent program for schools and nature centers with access to SkyLab or other planetarium.
