Description

Imagine the Native American Indians as astronomers carefully watching the heavens, charting the sun through the seasons, or counting the sunrises between successive lunar phases. Using hisroty, science, and direct observation, Ray A. Williamson transports the reader into the sky world of the Indian. We visit the Bighorn Medicine Wheel, sit with a Zuni sun priest on the winter solstice, join explorers at the rites of the Hopis and the Navajo, and trek to Chaco Canyon to make direct on-site observations of celestial events.
