Native Sky Watchers

Created by Annette S. Lee in 2007, the Native Skywatchers initiative aims to honor and rejuvenate the ancestral wisdom of indigenous celestial and terrestrial understanding. The primary objective of Native Skywatchers is to convey the idea that indigenous communities historically embraced a sustainable lifestyle and eco-friendly engineering by actively engaging in a dynamic and interconnected relationship with the celestial and terrestrial realms, encompassing the sky and the earth.
