Campus Happenings
3/2 @ 7:30pm Spirits from the Sky (Fiske Planetarium)
This show, produced by the Adler Planetarium and Astronomy Museum, provides a never-before-seen journey into the culture of the Skidi Band of the Pawnee Native American Nation. Produced in collaboration with Pawnee Tribal Elders, you will get a glimpse into a fascinating society that was almost lost to history. This landmark show bridges science, history, and anthropology to tell the story of a noble people and their enduring relationship with the sky. "Spirits from the Sky" artfully weaves the changing positions of stars and planets with visual representations of artifacts from Pawnee star and sky lore rituals. With an introduction written and narrated by Pulitzer Prize Winner N. Scott Momaday, the presentation draws upon both archival sources and the personal recollections of the Pawnee Elders.
