Lakehead University’s Office of Indigenous Initiatives invites you to join us for Anishinaabe Celestial Sphere with Vicki M. R. Monague on Monday, February 23, 2026 from 11:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. via Zoom.
The Anishinaabe Celestial Sphere program, developed in partnership with McMaster University William McCallum Planetarium, is an educational program that is grounded in Anishinaabe ethnoastronomy, language and cosmology. The program brings together Indigenous knowledge systems and contemporary astronomical science to support place-based, land-informed learning that reflects Anishinaabe relationships to the sky and constellations, the seasons, and the natural world. Through immersive, story-based and experiential pedagogical approaches, participants engage with Anishinaabe star knowledge as a living system of teachings that conveys moral responsibility, ecological stewardship, and collective memory.
