How are Indigenous people marking Monday’s total solar eclipse?
Indigenous scientists, educators, and artists are gathering at the University of Rochester on Sunday and Monday for lectures, storytelling, and cultural demonstrations.
We preview the programs and discuss the significance of the eclipse for Indigenous people with our guests:
