MOONS

The North American Indians called the months “Moons” and were particularly noted for naming each month for the most striking event taking place in it. Indian moons correspond only in a general way to our own months. Due to the fact that the names varied so greatly between the different tribes, the American Indian Association adopted the following moons, or months, after careful research and study, and approved them.

JANUARY
     
Snow Moon or Cold Moon
FEBRUARY
     
Hunger Moon
MARCH
     
Crow Moon or Awaking Moon
APRIL
     
Grass Moon
MAY
     
Planting Moon or Flower Moon
JUNE
     
Rose Moon or Buck Moon
JULY
     
Heat Moon or Blood Moon
AUGUST
     
Thunder Moon or Sturgeon Moon
SEPTEMBER
     
Hunting Moon or Harvest Moon
OCTOBER
     
Falling Leaf Moon or Traveling Moon
NOVEMBER
     
Mad Moon or Beaver Moon
DECEMBER
     
Long Night Moon
Modern Day Kwans

“There were ten million Native Americans on the North American continent when the first non-Indians arrived. Over the next 300 years, 90% of all Native American original population was either wiped out by disease, famine, or warfare inflicted by the whites.”
