Moon of Whistling Robins

Much of April is Moon of the Whistling Robins. Greens, fish and shellfish are harvested. Ironwood, also called ocean spray, is harvested and used to make tools, such as cooking sticks and sewing needles. In this video, learn about the properties of ironwood, how to harvest it, and how to make ironwood fish sticks. We share the moral fable of the gossiping clams. We provide a short tour of the Swinomish 13 Moons gardens.
