Thank you very much for your responses. They were indeed very helpful 
and pushed me further in a direction I was leaning towards anyway.

I will most likely avoid bringing in medicine wheels as a major 
element of the Native part of the Night Sky focus. It may be a good 
opportunity to do a field trip and have a number of people listening 
to a Native guide for a while.

Right now, I envision a Sky Story Telling by a Native around a 
bonfire (in the freezing Canadian winter night - doesn't that sound 
appetizing?). And a similar (or maybe joint?) event  could be 
arranged with telling the ancient Greek stories behind the 
constellations. I'd be quite happy to leave these stories as a 
cultural, oral tradition and not to try to squeeze any science into 
them. That can be done at a different event.

In any case, I very much look forward to working together with the 
Natives in the area and I hope that this will work out.

Cheers and a happy new year to everybody,
Peter Davis
