The First Astronomers: How Indigenous Elders Read the Stars by Elders and Knowledge Holders, Duane Hamacher
5.0
TW: racism, colonisation, mentions of death
Honestly one of my books of the year.
Colonisation erases already-known truths of astronomy that indigonous people discovered far before western astronomers 'discovered' them. This is a brilliant anti-racist history of the stars as told by indigonous Elders and Knowledge holders, aptly recorded (with permission).
