Hello, Mary, These are among the resources that we use or consider to identify the names that Native Americans gave the full Moon:

• http://www.wwu.edu/skywise/indianmoons.html

• http://www.native-languages.org/legends-moon.htm

There are many more names for the Moon than the relatively familiar ones that many folks know, because tribes throughout North America named the Moon based on events in nature that they observed locally. Here is one: http://faculty.smu.edu/twalker/calendar.htm

Thanks for your interest in this Almanac.
