Tracks on cliff, Fremont Indian State Park, Utah. Photo: Peter Faris, 2001. Native Americans recognized constellations of stars just like other ancient cultures, they just had different names for them. In Stars of the First People, Dorcas Miller (1997:179) wrote “Pueblo farmers kept turkeys, so it is not surprising that they should recognize a Turkey Feet constellation. John P. Harrington, an ethnologist who worked in the southwest and published information about Tewa constellations in 1916, writes that the group is “”an easily learned constellation of the exact form of a turkey’s foot,”” but to the frustration of later readers he does not identify these stars. The shape of a turkey’s foot is similar to that of the Northern Cross, which has also been suggested as the Pawnee Bird’s Foot constellation.” The Northern Cross is the central grouping of the larger constellation Cygnus, the Swan. Looking at star charts for this area of the sky, I find nearby another classical constellation that looks, if anything, even more like a turkey track and that is Aquila, the Eagle. Taken together Cygnus the Swan and Aquila the Eagle would represent a pair of turkey tracks, Turkey would have been walking across the sky. Star map showing Eagle and Northern Cross constellations. Miller, Stars of the First People, p.17. When we find a row of bird tracks on a rock in the Southwest there are a standard few pat answers as to what they represent. In many instances they would be assumed to represent the turkey itself and its role as a food source, or a source of feathers, or even represent a spirit helper. In traditionally ancestral Puebloan areas they might be called clan symbols. What I do not believe that I have ever seen as an explanation however, is that they might represent an archaeoastronomical reference, the constellation – Turkey Tracks across the sky.

She is at the sky and shines upon the earth.Polaris, the North Star, has kept many safe with her guiding light.The motto on the wax seal necklace is in Latin; Coelo Hæret Solo Lucet.Using the North Star as a symbol in emblems was common several hundred years ago.The antique wax seal that we use in making this necklace dates back to the late 1700's.I'm pretty sure the emblem below, number 49, was the inspiration for the wax seal, as it carries the same motto. The emblem book is from 1659.Number 49 has a header in Dutch
About The Artwork Our collective imaginations once connected the bright lights of the night sky in patterns meaningful to them: gods, heroes, and animals. Their lives are entwined with mythologies, and each culture since prehistory used these patterns to make sense of their lives in this vast universe. Modern astronomy now identifies eighty-eight constellations that mapped the celestial sphere with their continuous boundaries and, with the calculus of a cosmic coordinate system, can specify the position of any celestial object within these constellations. Now we also know that from Earth, each of those objects is so far away that we need to use the speed of light to measure the distance, and every ingredient in our body is made from the elements forged by stars; we are made of star stuff, as Carl Sagan once famously said or Rumi more poetically, we are stars wrapped in skin.
