About this event

In recognition of the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation on 30th September, all funds from today's ticket sales will go to a local Indigenous non-profit organization. “This is the oral tradition that I have passed down to the Haudenosaunee, the people of Six Nations, from one generation to the next. I now pass that tradition onto you so you will also know and understand the teachings contained in iotsistohkwaronnion (the stars), and when you see me in the sky you will also remember my words.” Join us for another fascinating show that blends local culture, history, and modern-day astronomy and shares the Six Nations’ sky lore and language through traditional Indigenous night-sky stories. With narration and visuals by a live presentation and pre-recorded excerpts (in English and Mohawk), learn about the story of Onekwá:tara – the Seven Dancers of the Pleiades, and how the story is portrayed in the night sky.
