Lunar Months

Unlike months in the Gregorian (solar) calendar, each month in Myaamia Kiilhswaakani ‘Miami Lunar Calendar’ is connected to ecological changes that occur during that time of the year. You can learn more about how our calendar works on the Myaamia Kilihswaakani page. To learn more about each lunar month, visit the links below.
