> Before the advent of modern astronomy, our forebears had always 
> wondered at the land, sea, and sky and struggled to
> make sense of it - looking for interconnections and interdependence. 
> These facilitated deeper meanings such as the
> astronomy found in religious beliefs, cosmogonies, cosmologies, 
> divination practices and sky mythologies. They
> observed the sky and sea for practical reasons such as for 
> agriculture, navigation, time-keeping and weather
> prediction. Indigenous, endogenous, traditional, or cultural astronomy 
> focuses on the many ways that people and
> cultures interact with celestial bodies from ancient times to 
> knowledge still practiced today. The theme of this
> conference, 'Sea, Sky, and Land: Engaging in Solidarity in Endangered 
> Ecologies' agrees, to a large extent, with the
> research and education collaboration between UNESCO (United Nations 
> Educational, Scientific and Cultural
> Organization) and the IAU (International Astronomical Union) to 
> implement 'Astronomy and World Heritage' as part of
> UNESCO's thematic initiative. The objective of which is to demonstrate 
> a link between science and culture on the
> basis of research aimed at acknowledging both the cultural and 
> scientific values of properties connected with
> astronomy. Underlaying this UNESCO initiative is properties must be of 
> 'Outstanding Human Value', which begs the
> question of who determines this. This panel invites people studying 
> ancient astronomical practices, astrophysicists,
> and those working with Indigenous peoples today to share practical 
> steps of preserving, conserving and sustaining
> such Indigenous knowledge and practices.
