Snow Eagle (18 page)
Authors: Shirley A. Roe
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 |
“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.”
