The Carib sky

Abstract

The Carib sky. This article gives the results of an investigacion made in Surinam, in 1980, in three Carib communities. An exhaustive account of the stars of the Carib s and a graphic representation of these that could be identified are given. Other informations concern the «tiempos de emergencia» of the stars and the stellar mythology relative to them. Besides the data collected in 1980, the authors quote informations known since the 16th century and comment briefly the Carib theories about the origin of the stars. It is the first exhaustive publication about Carib astronomy — two previous ones, limited, dating from 1907 and 1931.
