Northern Dene Asterism Names
From All Skies Encyclopaedia
In his thesis 2021, Chris Cannon gave seven lists of asterisms of ethnics of Alaska and Northern Canada.
Most of the asterisms are all-sky-constellations, subdivided in various parts (like legs, arms, the heart of the creature etc.). In total, he lists 181 terms from seven ethnics. Here is an overview:
