Look to the stars in an immersive planetarium, and journey through the skies guided by First Nations astronomer Wilfred Buck (Cree). This special pop-up astronomical experience, presented in collaboration with the Bell Museum, features three sessions that center on Indigenous star lore and celestial traditions. Learn how the night sky has been central to traditional teachings across generations. Buck’s storytelling will illuminate the stars and constellations, offering insights into the wisdom and wonder of space.
