'Polaris, Mark Kummerfeldt's Star, and My Star.'
McLure, John W.
Science Teacher, v51 n5 p80-82 May 1984

However, it is suggested that a study of non-western views be incorporated into astronomy curricula. Descriptions of various stars and constellations from different cultures and instructional strategies are provided. (BC)
