Navajo Skies

1:15, 2:00, 2:45, 3:30, & 4:15 p.m.

Potomac Atrium, 1st level

Join Dr. Nancy Maryboy (Cherokee) and Dr. David Begay (Navajo) in their 16-feet-high Skyscan dome for a unique exploration of the skies–Navajo style! Native people have keenly observed the universe for thousands of years. Maryboy and Begay will provide colorfully illustrated examples of the Navajo ways of knowing the sky with comparisons to western astronomy. Learn how Navajo constellations relate to hunting and planting cycles, ways of living in harmony with Mother Earth and Father Sky, and how Navajo Coyote stories can speak to the origins of the universe.

Amazing.
I need to add astronomy and cosmology to art and science. Life is just too wonderful sometimes :)

"Yesterday a group of approximately 20 Smithsonian interns were led on a tour of the "African Cosmos: Stellar Arts" exhibit currently on display at the Smithsonian National Museum of African Art.

 

The group received a special welcome from museum Director Dr. Johnnetta Cole and then proceeded to learn about the African Cosmos exhibit from Deputy Director and Chief Curator Dr. Christine Kreamer."

those feelings

...when you're skating on ice and you feel like youre flying
...when you meet new people who remind you that life will always be interesting
...when you feel appreciated and that a job interview you wanted to work out works out!
...when you sit and ponder in a quiet room full of beautiful poinsettias with a cup of tea, feeling like at least for that moment, this is exactly where you want to be.
