Seven Sisters Story, painted by Nyunmiti Burton. See comments for an incredible video: Kungkarangkalpa: Seven Sisters Songline, an ancient Western Desert epic song saga of the Seven Sisters presented by AṈANGU Dancers from the APY Lands (short for Anangu Pitjantjatjara Yankunytjatjara, a group peoples in northwestern South Australia). Also, another video showing the Seven Sisters story among the Martu in the northwest of the continent, and other places. It's about the constellation Europeans call the Pleiades, Japanese the Subaru, the Seven Star Girls of the Kiowa, many more names and stories.

"....We often regard the invention of astronomy from a Greek perspective — after all, most of the official constellations and planets are named after Greek mythology. The names are connected to epic stories that permeated ancient people’s imagination, making it easier to pass the information to a younger generation. However, astronomy was not exclusive to western philosophy– other people used astronomy in their lives as well, and they had their own, different systems.
Archeoastronomy focuses on the way ancient civilizations used astronomy, either for religious purposes or scientific observations.
We know a few examples of different astronomical classifications. The Aboriginal culture has a constellation called Emu, the Australian ostrich, between the Southern Cross and Scorpius. Similarly, in African Tswana and Venda traditions, the Southern Cross is a group of giraffes.
Brazilian indigenous groups also have their own astronomical system....
However, although Europeans tried to discard indigenous knowledge, an important part of it survives to this day.
Tupi is the term used to describe the people and the family of languages that includes 41 native languages spoken between Brazil, Argentina, Peru, Bolivia, Paraguay, and Uruguay. The Tupinambá people, one of the Tupi ethnic groups that lived in the Atlantic Forest in Brazil, speak a Tupi language, so researchers chose to name the people Tupinambá, and Tupi their language.
... Brazil alone, there are known 220 indigenous ethnicities. The most populous group is the Guarani, approximately 46,000 people. Anthropologists estimate that there are at least 185 isolated groups between Venezuela, Brazil, Peru, Bolívia, and Ecuador. Of these, many have their own way of looking at constellations.
Despite the many disturbing events that took place when Europeans started colonizing Brazil, records of local astronomy still exist, and they’re a good source of information for researchers. These written records provide the ‘Rosetta stone’’ that enables astronomers to translate the constellations named by the natives to the stars as we know them today... https://www.zmescience.com/.../ethnoastronomy-brazilian.../

A different way of looking at the sky — Brazilian ethnoastronomy and its unique constellations
We know constellations from Greek mythology, but other cultures had their own with their own myths.

"The sand in Okinawa, Japan contains thousands of tiny "stars". These "grains of sand" are actually exoskeletons of marine protozoa, which lived on the ocean floor 550 million years ago.
A 1mm star!
On the beaches of Okinawa in Japan, the sand is mostly made up of foraminifera, a one-celled organism that feeds on the minerals found in sea salt.
You just have to take a handful of sand and look at it with a magnifying glass to realise that the grains are pretty little stars.
The same goes for Bermuda, where they also take on a pinkish colour due to algae.
These little stars are neither animals nor plants, and have been present on earth for 500 million years. These are not true starfish in the literal sense of the word, but protozoa, a mineral shell that can take many forms depending on the species, including a star. Their size generally varies from 38 mm to 1 mm."

'As Ian Buruma observed:
News of the amazing explosion of the atom bomb attacks on Japan was deliberately withheld from the Japanese public by US military censors during the Allied occupation—even as they sought to teach the natives the virtues of a free press. Casualty statistics were suppressed. Film shot by Japanese cameramen in Hiroshima and Nagasaki after the bombings was confiscated. "Hiroshima", the account written by John Hersey for The New Yorker, had a huge impact in the US, but was banned in Japan. As [John] Dower says: "In the localities themselves, suffering was compounded not merely by the unprecedented nature of the catastrophe ... but also by the fact that public struggle with this traumatic experience was not permitted' https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hiroshima
