Big Dipper Art

Ms. Galigos of the Coast Salish, Sliammon Nation.
She was here honoring the local territory, Kwikwetlem, which Coquitlam School District resides. Ms. Galigos came into our class and told a story about how a coyote placed the stars.  This story was followed by an art activity with a coyote, native designed moon, and stickers to plot the big dipper.  Ms. Galigos' presentation was part of our space unit.

Here is a link to the story Ms. Galigos read us:
