The bather had finished a sweat lodge ceremony and was sprawled on the ground, physically exhausted but renewed in spirit.
Nearby were the seven heated stones in the sweat lodge.
This was one of the stories told this afternoon in Under the Same Stars: Minwaadiziwin, a Science North feature film about traditional astronomy projected in an inflatable planetarium at the Northern Community Centre on Goulais Ave.
Anishinaabe peoples had their own constellations in the night sky, and unique stories to define them.
The Exhausted Bather constellation is comprised of part of what non-indigenous astronomers refer to as Hercules.
The seven stones nearby are the Pleiades.
"Minwaadiziwin is an Ojibwe term which refers to the hope for all living things to lead a good life," says promotional material prepared for the film.
"As we are all on this planet together and sit under the same stars, we hope for a good life for all."
Under the Same Stars: Minwaadiziwin will move east on the Trans Canada Highway and will be presented in Garden River First Nation on Wednesday.
On Thursday, it will be presented at the Old Town Hall in Richards Landing, and in Thessalon First Nation on Friday.
