The native people of Canada, particularly Indigenous groups, used the stars as a vital navigation tool for travel and understanding seasonal changes. They observed constellations and celestial bodies, which helped them orient themselves and determine directions during nighttime journeys. Additionally, the changing positions of stars indicated seasonal shifts, guiding them in hunting, gathering, and migration patterns. This deep knowledge of the night sky was integrated into their cultural practices and stories, enriching their connection to the land.
