This sky show, produced in cooperation with Tribal Elders, provides a never-before-seen journey into the culture of the Skidi, a band of the Pawnee Native American Nation. You will explore the rich cultural heritage of the Skidi and see how they came to pattern their lives from observations they made of the Earth and celestial phenomena.

This original production by Chicago's Adler Planetarium was adapted for fulldome by the Casper Planetarium & Ralph Mueller Planetarium.
