Oceania
Kia ora. In the Pacific we don't guess: we observe. The moon says when to fish, the stars which way to go, and the dream who you are. Step into the canoe.
Stars to navigate by, the maramataka moon and the Dreaming.
Polynesia and Aotearoa
New Zealand, Hawaii, Tahiti, Samoa, Tonga

Maramataka, the Māori lunar calendar
Aotearoa New Zealand; today returning to schools and farming.
Every night of the moon has a name and an energy: some are good for fishing or planting, others for rest; the night you were born tells your rhythm.

Star navigation
All Polynesia; Hawaiian and Tahitian navigators crossed the Pacific without instruments.
The star compass divides the horizon into houses where stars rise and set; each person has a zenith star, the one passing over their island.

The Dreaming
Aboriginal peoples across Australia, the world's oldest living culture.
Not a night-time dream but the time when the ancestors shaped the land; each person belongs to a story, an animal and a place.

Aboriginal sky
Australia; the emu in the sky is drawn with the dark patches of the Milky Way.
Constellations are read in the dark spaces, not the stars; their position tells when to gather emu eggs or when it rains.
