“This moon marks the end of Summer and the beginning of cooler weather."

"Our W̱SÁNEĆ people would begin splitting logs they felled in the Spring for building materials and completing canoes would be Winter work.  They would rough out their canoes in the forest and move them to the villages when they were easier to carry."
