Why the moon?

Marine biologist William Gladstone asks, "What happens under Antarctic sea ice at full moon?" Knowledge of lunar cycles is essential for 'immediate and intimate' responses to country that Bill Gammage characterises as Indigenous (Youtube, Feb 13, 2012). And as Indigenous Canadian scholar Shawn Wilson says (Research is Ceremony, 2008), Indigenous ways of knowing are available to everyone.

"...My hope is that one day everyone can find a place under the Law of the land where they live, transitioning our living systems into something that is sustainable in the true sense of the word. Oldman Juma calls it the seven families coming home and uniting again. We'd like everybody to look up at the stars and see the same stories there once more. And stop asking the question, 'Are we alone?' Of course we're not! Everything in the universe is alive and full of knowledge."
