Iroquois Creation Story Workshop, Week 08: Celestial Foundations & World-Wide Star Myth Connections!

The above video is from Week Eight of the ongoing workshop exploring the Haudenosaunee (Iroquois First Nations) Creation Story, being held in Kahnawake Mohawk Territory.

At the beginning, and lasting through about the 0:13:50 mark in this video, Kyle Delisle of the Kahnawake First Nations Mohawk Territory and President of the Kahnawake Business Contribution Foundation briefly discusses the concept of Precession.

After that, he also presents some thoughts on possible celestial connections in the part of the Iroquois Creation Story that we heard Trina read and translate last week (see below for links to each week's video content). Kyle's celestial interpretation discussion goes from about 0:13:50 until about the 0:16:15 mark in the video. Then, I continue the examination of the events in that same Iroquois Creation Account that we heard last week and that Kyle was just talking about, using parallels from other Star Myths around the world which can help provide clues and supporting evidence in our analysis of the clear celestial content in this sacred story from the Iroquois Nations of North America. My discussion goes from around the 0:16:20 mark to the around the 1:23:40 mark in the video. After that, Trina Stacey Ienonhsaka'én:ions continues with the reading, translating, and exploration of the Onondaga version of the Creation Story -- speaking first in the Mohawk First Language and then translating each part into English. Trina's presentation goes from about the 1:23:40 mark in the video until the end of this week's recording. This discussion is a continuation of those recorded in the previous weeks of this workshop -- you can go back and see the videos from earlier weeks using these links: Week One https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8VI0HihptW8&t=179s Week Two https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qE5ByRQmhBo&t=484s Week Three https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vwhpt2frbqQ Week Four https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bXnwaA3QE2k&t=2495s Week Five https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EiS3nTsMjN0&t=3545s Week Six https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CKhT1X9Zvgs Week Seven https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dlDeKlx3Lxg&t=15s Please feel free to share with those for whom this information would be positive in some way!
