Lunar Literacy

Monday, August 4, 2025

We have paused our CAIRNS Etanhan Wotanin columns since the beginning of June, but are back with this one about the first astronomy workshop that CAIRNS has hosted at our home base—Wingsprings. The workshop, which was held on July 8, focused on astronomical and Lakotan viewpoints and understandings of the moon. The column, “Lunar Literacy”, can be read now by clicking here, or later this week in the Lakota Times newspaper. The image above is how the moon appeaered on July 8, 2025, and is from https://moon.nasa.gov
