Mahooty, Steeves, Sixkiller-Clark: Star People, Sky Beings, and Indigenous Cosmology

Across many Indigenous traditions of North America, stories of “Star People” are not fringe mythology but part of living cosmology. Nations such as the Zuni and Hopi describe ancestral relationships with celestial beings and migrations guided by star knowledge. These traditions appear repeatedly in oral histories collected by scholars and Indigenous knowledge keepers. This program brings together Native elder Clifford Mahooty, Indigenous scholar Paulette Steeves, and researcher Ardy Sixkiller Clarke to explore whether these traditions preserve encoded knowledge about ancient migrations, cosmology, or contact narratives. The conversation bridges Indigenous oral memory with academic archaeology and anthropology.

Clifford Mahooty — Zuni Pueblo elder, retired civil/environmental engineer, and wisdom keeper active in Zuni religious orders including the Kachina and Galaxy Medicine Society. On Earth Ancients he discusses Zuni oral history, ritual life, kachinas, and connections to star people.
Dr. Ardy Sixkiller Clarke — Professor Emeritus at Montana State University who devoted her career to Indigenous populations and published work on Native accounts of “Star People.” Earth Ancients presents her as a noted American Indian researcher whose interviews collected first-person Indigenous narratives.
Dr. Paulette Steeves
Cree-Métis archaeologist and professor (Algoma University). Author of The Indigenous Paleolithic of the Americas. Her research argues Indigenous presence in the Americas extends far earlier than mainstream archaeology recognizes.
