Ursa Major is one of the largest constellations in the sky and Ursa Minor has the North Star at the end of its handle. They're two of the most famous constellations on the planet so unsurprisingly, a lot of people have stories about them. Ursa Major is particularly of note in this video because of its connections to the Cosmic Hunt. Today we're looking at the stories of Ursa Major & Ursa Minor from Greek mythology & Cree folklore!
