Friday, August 25th
9:30-11:00pm
Lake Afton Public Observatory, Wichita, Kansas
The Lake Afton Public Observatory is presenting a special program on the star lore of the Native Americans. Just as the ancient Greeks and Romans have their “stare stories,” Native American tribes have constellations and stories that are unique to them. This program will give you an opportunity to sit around a camp fire as you listen to their wonderful star stories and find out how they sky affected Native American life. Native American Star Stories will take place in the field behind the Observatory building at 9:30pm on Friday, August 25th. (If there is cloudy weather on the 25th, the program will be rescheduled for Saturday, August 26th at 9:30pm.) There will not be an admission charge to this special program presentation, although normal admission charges will remain for the regular Observatory program Great Space Telescopes.
