Tomorrow, March 20th is officially The First Day of Spring!  We have had a very long, and hard winter in Utah...we have long been anticipating Spring's arrival!
Rejoice as the world around you awakens refreshed and anew!
 
 
 

A Few Changes to our Home Page......



We've made some updates and changes to our Indian Summer Native American Art Home Page! We finally swapped out Abby Quam's orange Slag Glass Wolf (which we loved!) for Andres Quandelacy's fabulous Turquoise and Coral Bison...which we also love! :) Rearranged a few of our pages and tried to make navigating through our website an easy task for everyone! Hope you will check us out!

Native American Full Moons....2013


Do you love gazing at the moon?  I know that I do....I love watching it rise in the east each night over our majestic mountains.  I have always been fascinated with the different phases of the moon and how it affects the ocean tides.  I love watching the changes in the moon over the month, watching it go from just a sliver to a brilliant full moon in just a matter of days!  It is always a mystery to me why I see the moon some days in the middle of the day, high in the sky competing with the sun....other days, the moon is low on the western horizon very early in the evening, and doesn't appear to make it through the night!  Oh, it is fascinating!  The various Native American cultures have always been fascinated by the moon as well.  Many have Dieties or Gods that represent the "moon".  Ceremonies and dances are performed at important cycles of the moon, and they also have names for the full moon of each month of the year! Listed below are some of the names the moon is referred to in the Native American culture, and the date in 2013, when these moons will appear in "Father Sky".  They are magical and mystical names and can conjur up wonderful images and thoughts, just by the mere mention of them!  I hope you enjoy the list of full moons and their Native American names as much I do!   Enjoy...and let your imagination run wild!

Spring is on the Way!

  
 
We still have 2 feet of snow on the ground in some places....but it feels like Spring is on the way! The Spring dances have begun at the Pueblos....Dances for gentle rains and Spring flowers....the mere thought of these processions conjurs up magical and mystical images!
Happy "almost Spring!"
