We describe the process to create collaboratively-produced shows that blends local culture, history and modern-day astronomy by a Canadian university's planetarium, its Indigenous studies department, and members of local Indigenous communities at Six Nations and Mississaugas of the Credit.
The shows provide context, in-depth knowledge, and artwork of the Six Nations’ traditional night-sky stories, with narration by a live astronomer and pre-recorded excerpts (in English and Mohawk – one of the Six Nations’ languages). They also solve a number of needs from all partners: sharing Six Nations sky lore and language with the general public and students (including students from the Six Nations community); fostering relations with Six Nations communities; providing a variety of planetarium show programming adaptable to different audiences, and; offering a different perspective of the celestial sphere.
This collaboration, currently focusing on Onekwá:tara – the Seven Dancers of the Pleiades, is part of a series of shows devoted to Indigenous sky lore.
