Tenth Day of Advent

The Ram, Constellations, The Huron Carol
Aries the ram, "a rather inconspicuous northern constellation". I don't know if there is an Iroquoian or First Nations name or legend for the constellation or the first point of Aries, the location of the vernal equinox.  I placed the ram  here, galloping across the starry firmament, as one of many northern creatures with a heavenly counterpart.
