Instead of dividing the year into 12 months with names that are derived from Roman Emperors, Native American tribes instead divide the year by the 12 moons, describing the seasonal changing that are taking place.
Seasons of the Lakota Tribe
Moon of the popping trees
Moon of the mating of the wolf
Moon of the snowblind
Moon of the red grass
Moon of the shedding ponies
Moon of the wild turnip/Moon of the fat strawberries
Moon of the black chokecherries
Harvest Moon
Moon of the yellow leaves
Moon when the trees shake off their leaves
Moon when the calves lose their hair
Moon when the deer shed their antlers
