All
our holidays are validated with sponsors or organizations; or, we
validate the source or origin for an observance to prove it's not made
up. All
my holiday and observances listings are not "fair

not going to list the Indian Tribal Gatherings per month. Special thanks to Chris Sodini for
letting me know about Hand Washing Week. |

Full Moon on the 28th is called "Cold Moon" by Native Americans of New England and the Great Lakes because at this time of the year the nights are long, the days are short and so less sunlight means more cold days.
