Kelmuya (Sparrow Hawk Moon)

Description

Hopisinom (the Hopi people) have a traditional calendar that speaks to their connection to the changes in seasons through ceremony. Each moon cycle is named to coincide with the time of year. This time of year, 'baby hawks' grow stronger for the coming winter, symbolic of the young members who have been newly initiated into the tribe.
