Boy
Paul Goble
Book Description:: Star Boy was the son of Morning Star and
an earthly bride. He was banished from the Sky World for this mother's
disobedience and bore a mysterious scar on his face, the symbol of the
Sun's disapproval.
As Star Boy grew, he came to love the chief's daughter, and it was
she who helped him find the courage to journey to the Sky World and make
peace with the Sun. The Sun not only lifted the scar but sent Star Boy
back to the world with the sacred knowledge of the Sun Dance, a ceremony
of thanks for the Creator's blessing.

Space-Time
of the Bororo of Brazil
Stephen Michael Fabian
Book Description:
For America's native peoples, Fabian writes, the sky is a daily--and
nightly--influence on their society and culture. In one of the first comprehensive
studies of a lowland South American people's astronomy, he explains how
the Bororo Indians of Brazil integrate the social, natural, and cosmic
dimensions of time and space into their environment.
Fabian introduces the Bororo by recounting a newly collected version
of their bird-nester myth that alludes to the spatial dimensions that govern
Bororo village organization. Time is mapped onto the circular village structure,
astronomical observations plot the nature and location of daily activities,
and the perimeter of the settlement is synchronized with circadian and
seasonal cycles. The village itself acts as a retrieval and classification
system that functions much as lists or tables would in a literate society.
By using extensive cross-cultural materials and a holistic approach that
emphasizes relationships rather than objects, Fabian lets the Bororo speak
for themselves. His interpretive work combines myth and folklore with personal
interviews, archival research, and discussion of his own participation
in ceremonies and secular activities during the ten-month period he and
his wife lived among the Bororo. Of interest to anthropologists, folklorists,
ethnoastronomers, and students of religion, Space-Time of the Bororo of
Brazil shows that the Bororo animate a complex, rational system, a realization,
Fabian writes, "that must both broaden and deepen our understanding, appreciation,
and respect for all native societies."
