Moon Names:
Historically, the Indians of what are now the northern and eastern United
States kept track of the seasons by giving a distinctive name to each
recurring full Moon, this name being applied to the entire month in
which it occurred. With some variations, the same Moon names were used
throughout the Algonquin tribes from New England to Lake Superior.
