Cozaactim is Seri constellation name. This constellation is referring to the hunter.<ref>Raúl Pérez-Enríquez (online). Seri sky culture in Stellarium, https://github.com/stellarium/stellarium.</ref> <br />
<br />
== Etymology and History ==<br />
All this knowledge of Comca'ac people comes from prehispanic epoch, and it has prevailed through centuries. Still today, it is possible to hear the stories and legends behind the naming of constellations and the events on the sea and on the desert. <br />
<br />
The description of the Comca'ac (Seri) Constellations presented here comes from the book "Bajo el cielo Comca'ac: Astronomía entre el mar y el desierto", written by Arturo Morales Blanco, in which it is possible to identify the relations between sky, sea and desert, as they are recovered by oral tradition and family memories. <br />
<br />
This knowledge has arrived to us by oral transmission from generation to generation through time and shows how the events from the sea like the appearance of crabs or the abundance of Totoaba (a large fish, now in danger), comes along with the presence of sets of stars in the sky. <br />
<br />
=== Origin of Constellation ===<br />
The hunter, properly said, is Cozaactim ("Who crosses"), with his head at Capella.<br />
== Mythology / Religion ==<br />
The legend says that Cozaactim threw his spear and hit the Bura deer. Háap was wounded and flew through the sky bleeding; then, a little drop of blood fell in the Tiburón Island, and that is the reason why bura deer are native of the island. This constellation can be observed in September morning skies.<br />
