Every culture on the face of Nikawiy Aski, Mother Earth, have their own connections to the vast night sky. The Ininew (Cree) of North America hold sacred the many tales and teachings the various constellations in Ininew Cosmology reveal. Indigenous Star Knowledge and the identification of constellations is a fluid and dynamic concept. As one begins to understand the depth of knowledge Indigenous People hold pertaining to the stars, a wholistic picture begins to develop about our existence and our (humans) part in that dynamic fluid concept - reality.

For Jason, who has knocked about aimlessly in several different careers in his Earth life, it's an opportunity to unleash his creativity and ambition and see what he can really do.
