Moon of the Shaker of the Leaves

W̱ESELÁNEW̱ - Moon of the Shaker of the Leaves

November 19th to December 18th, 2025

“...This is the time that big winds come and change the season to Winter. The days become cooler…The winds that come with this moon are a signal to move to the Winter village as the open sea becomes dangerous for travelling…Winter fires are lit and this is the beginning of our Winter gatherings.”

From The Saanich Year.
