Additional Comments

This suggestion was made by Dr. Alejandro López, astronomer and anthropologist, ethnoastronomer, chair of the IAU WG astronomical heritage in danger in an email to @katieefrey. It was carried forward from Issue https://github.com/astrothesaurus/UAT/issues/347 to Issue https://github.com/astrothesaurus/UAT/issues/357, when most of the other items in Issue https://github.com/astrothesaurus/UAT/issues/347 were closed out. I am now creating this issue to solely address whether we should add Intercultural astronomy education.
