Museum of Indian Arts and Culture’s spring 2025 exhibition of Native astronomy.

Makowa: Native Skywatching in the Southwest follows the Museum of Indian Art and Culture’s tradition of creating exhibitions led by Native communities.

Makowa explores the night sky and celestial bodies through the eyes of the ancestral and contemporary Indigenous cultures of the American Southwest. The exhibition highlights the connection between people and the cosmos through time, combining knowledge from anthropology, archaeology, history, art history, philosophy, astronomy, and Native American and Indigenous studies.

The museum will show the astronomical rituals of the New Mexico Pueblos, the Hopi, Diné (Navajo), Jicarilla Apache Nation, N’de (Mescalero Apache) and Tohono O'odham tribes.
