Rapid City filmmakers are creating a documentary about Lakota Star Knowledge for the Journey Museum. The names children learn for constellations are from Greek or Roman tradition. But other cultures, the Lakota among them, have defined what they can see of the universe in their own terms. SDPB’s Victoria Wicks reports on the documentary, the last project of a NASA grant to the museum.
