'Leaves Shaking Off the Trees Moon' or ‘čhaŋwápa kasná wí’ (October)

Leaves shaking off the trees moon, or ‘čhaŋwápa kasná wí’, is the month of October. This moon is when the leaves start to fall and the season begins to change. This time of the year is important to pay attention to as it signifies the preparation for the winter season. A drawing shows a porcupine perched on a branch against a large yellow circle. Leaves adorn the branch, and some are scattered below.
