Indigenous Voices. Nineteenth and early 20th–century written notes on spoken Native American languages are valuable in the effort to sustain and revive these languages after a long history of suppression and loss.
Many of the notes have been transcribed by Smithsonian online volunteers through our Transcription Center and are now available for researchers. There is also movement to revive sign language that allowed tribes to communicate across hundreds of spoken languages. To sample recorded music from a wide range of Native American cultures past and present, visit Smithsonian Folkways Recordings. The Smithsonian’s Recovering Voices program collaborates with contemporary Native communities to unearth cultural knowledge embedded in the texts held in museum collections.

MFNERC Science Facilitator Wilfred Buck has co-curated an exhibit at the Canada Science and Technology Museum in Ottawa.
He’s been working with First Nations schools to bring an Indigenous perspective to teaching science. Buck is well known for his star stories and for using a mobile dome-shaped planetarium to teach First Nations students about Cree constellations, such as Atima Atchakosuk: The Dog Stars and Niska: The Goose. Now, he is sharing this knowledge Canada-wide with his exhibition, One Sky, Many Astronomies co-curated by Annette S.
Lee. The exhibition is taking First Nations astronomy to new heights and reviving thousands of years of tradition of looking at the night sky by the First Peoples of North America. According to Buck, who is from Opaskwayak Cree Nation, Canada’s Indigenous peoples developed their own extensive knowledge of the stars, which originated in early history. Hawaiian Star Lines.

For print versions of the night-sky charts that would use less toner , you can use the Invert function in a graphic program like Photoshop (Image>Adjustments>Invert) to reverse the image (i.e., create a chart with a white sky and dark stars). Mau Piailug. Pius "Mau" Piailug (pronounced ; 1932 – July 12, 2010) was a Micronesian navigator from the Carolinian island of Satawal, best known as a teacher of traditional, non-instrument wayfinding methods for open-ocean voyaging. Mau's Carolinian navigation system, which relies on navigational clues using the Sun and stars, winds and clouds, seas and swells, and birds and fish, was acquired through rote learning passed down through teachings in the oral tradition. He earned the title of master navigator (palu) by the age of eighteen, around the time the first American missionaries arrived in Satawal. As he neared middle age, Mau grew concerned that the practice of navigation in Satawal would disappear as his people became acculturated to Western values.
In the hope that the navigational tradition would be preserved for future generations, Mau shared his knowledge with the Polynesian Voyaging Society (PVS). Early life (1932–1974)[edit] Satawal, Micronesia[edit] The University of Iowa - Academia.edu. Hawaiian Star Lines.
