Your local guide to observing celestial objects and events
Traditionally, Indigenous people keenly observed celestial objects, especially the Moon, and kept track of the passing of time. Each full Moon marked the passing of one month and reflected the “moon time” of women (menstruation). Seasonal activities that were culturally significant each month became the name of each month. Some years had 13 moons. Like a drum beat or a heartbeat, the rhythm of the sky was unfolding in the seasons and in the phases of the Moon.
