AB - As humans become prominent actors in extraterrestrial realms, this stirs in our wake complex questions of identity. Whose identity becomes a blueprint for  humanity ? What cultures are represented? What others are silenced by deliberate obscuration or worse by ignorance and apathy? To suggest a response to the issue presented by monolithic identities and monocultures of mind, this paper explores the storied cultural heritage preserved in Indigenous Communities, to present alternative cultural ontologies relating to the stars, the cosmos and other dimensions, and extended voyages that can shape the discourse for a more inclusive and diverse mythology of future space exploration.
