## Resource

The pod is in the midst of planning and recording some really interesting episodes, so to focus on those we thought we would re-release one of our fav's... it is also a little teaser for the upcoming ones... So enjoy, and go learn some science from the stars... This episode was recorded on an early Spring morning back in 2024, here on the Lands of the Blackfoot Confederacy, Tsuut’ina Nation, and Îethka Nakoda First Nation, and more recently the Otipemisiwak Métis . As we patiently waited for the First Thunder of the season , we got to learn from  Wilfred "The Star Guy" Buck , from Opaskwayak Cree Nation and Siksika Astrophysicist Rob Cardinal about the science and stories of the recent Solar Eclipse, the reverence and silence within the darkness of totality, the connection between the alignment, states of matter, and ceremonies, protocols of NOT LOOKING at these significant cosmic events, the Creation of "Tipis and Telescopes," the three-body problem, the North Star and moon cycles, and the origin of the Thunderbirds. SHOWNOTES : For all you curious humans and educators, here is a link for the shownotes, which as always, has a plethora of videos, links, resources, to learn more and support. There are soooo many for this episode, have fun! Thanks to Emil Starlight, the pod's talented multimedia podcast producer. As well, Walter White Bear , Sharon Foster, and Emil for that opening tune!
