Wilfred Buck is from the Opaskwayak Cree Nation of northern Manitoba and currently works for the Manitoba First Nations Education Resource Centre as a science facilitator. He introduces students of all ages to a whole new universe by taking his mobile dome-shaped planetarium to schools and communities to teach students about Cree constellations, such as Wesakaychak and Keewatin. Buck’s book, Tipiskawi Kisik: Night Sky Star Stories (MFNERC), is an exploration of these stars and constellations, their associated mythologies and age-old knowledge held by Indigenous peoples. Wilfred Buck resides in Winnipeg.
