Uranus. The double-spread painting for the original books depicted a scene from the innermost large moon, Ariel, with Miranda visible above the planet. Voyager showed the surface of Ariel to be covered by deep, criss-crossing valleys and canyons, so this painting proved predictive - though, the artist admits, this was mainly coincidence! Uranus is shown as a crescent; the horns extend from one side of the equator to the other, rather than from pole to pole. Art: David A. Hardy

Several years ago, Blackfoot elder; Leroy Little Bear, was making a presentation in Banff Alberta about the fact that animals used to talk to people, or that people could understand animals. Part riddle, part prophecy, Little Bear ended by stating that: โhe supposed they (the fish) still talk, albeit at a slowed pace and tempo; were a person to wait long enough they would undoubtably detect the tiniest of murmurs, or bubbles from the fishโ. This notion of fish talking to humans was reiterated by Christie Belcourt in her 2007 painting: โWhat the Sturgeon Told Meโ. Belcourt describes a dream she had wherein a sturgeon visited her to convey a message about the dams and disruption of traditional waterways.
