Someone pointed out to me the other day that NASA has been studying the Lakota Sioux star theology and astronomy since 1999 plus adding other American Indian Nations from the SouthWest soon afterwards.  If I had known that, I had forgotten it.  I was shocked.  Here's some links detailing some of the early work from NASA.  I have also added some additional reputable links below which would certainly be related.  Seems to me that some of your sleuths would understand this better and figure out the correlations which have so attracted the Government.

Even more, is it not about this time that the particular doppler rings began to appear over the Lakota Reservations?
