Bullhead moon

SX̱ÁNEȽ- Bullhead Moon - April 27 to May 25, 2025

"This is the season where good weather is the norm and these warm days can bring sudden thunder and lightening storms."

 “Our people would now spend more time on and around the water. During the moon the elder ladies knew to take their baskets to the beach and gather bullheads from under the rocks. The ladies would poke sticks under the rocks and the big bullheads would say “SKA,” which is its name. The bullhead is a great delicacy.”
