Moon of the Windy Time

Late January into early February is Moon of the Windy Time. Earth begins to awaken and dormant creatures begin to awake. Chinook salmon, or kings, are fished year-round. Sea-run cutthroat trout and steelhead are fished during winter moons; duck, geese, elk and deer continue to be hunted; tool making and basket and weaving happen. In this video, we demonstrate how to mend fishing nets, a disappearing art. Watch the animated story of Sasquatch. Learn about weaving cattail mats and other uses of cattails.
