| Notes: |
"Muin and the Seven Bird Hunters" is a traditional sky story that has been handed down from generation to generation as part of the rich oral history of the Mi'kmaq First Nation. The story links the annual cycle of the seasons as observed by the Mi'kmaq with the movement of stars about the North Celestial pole.
The pictures in this book show these stars as they move through the night sky and as they appear two hours before dawn. They are in different positions in each of the seasons because they are the time-keepers, they are the calendar. |
