论文摘要
在Ojibwe,晨星被称为Ikew Anung,这意味着女子明星。在拉科塔(Lakota),同一星球维纳斯(Venus)被称为“红日之星”(Anpetu Luta)。困扰文化对与世界其他土著文化有关的金星具有丰富而有趣的理解。金星经常与女性有关,因为土著人民仔细观察了恒星的运动,并在日出九个月在东方看到了恒星的运动,然后在日落的西部持续了九个月。九个月正是人类妊娠的时间。然而,可悲的是,随着长者的过去,本地明星知识正在消失。本地Skywatchers项目致力于了解该和其他天体连接的Ojibwe和Dakota重要性。与我们正在围绕本地明星知识的社区建立社区的文化老师和语言专家团队紧密合作。
In Ojibwe the Morning Star is called Ikew Anung, which means the Womens Star. In Lakota the same planet Venus is called Anpetu Luta, the Red Day Star. Bother cultures have rich and interesting understandings of Venus that relate to other Indigenous cultures throughout the world. Venus is so often related to the feminine because native peoples carefully watched the movement of the star and saw it in the east at sunrise for nine months and then in the west at sunset for the following nine months. Nine months is exactly the time for human gestation. Yet, tragically, the native star knowledge is disappearing as elders pass. The Native Skywatchers project focuses on understanding the Ojibwe and Dakota importance of this and other celestial connections. Working closely with a team of culture teachers and language experts we are building community around the native star knowledge.
