I'm living for the month at Chaco Canyon, helping out with their Night Sky Program. The ancient Chacoans most likely also watched the moon, and next weekend at Chimney Rock north of here some of the current indigenous groups will gather to watch the full moon rise between the two hills on the top of Chimney Rock--and dance. The blog in my signature has a few essays about this experience thus far, including one about a group of Navajo that visited last week.
The pre-history of migrations that we are now filling in is really breathtaking. I'm sure we're only piecing together the simplest of understandings of what went on in all those thousands of years of human prehistory, but it's still amazing nonetheless. All that drama of migration, struggle, change. I never read anything about the migrations within the Americas or the comet event, but I should...any good books on the subject?
