Wolf Moon
In January, with the cold and deep snows of midwinter, the wolf packs howled hungrily outside Native American villages. Thus, the villagers began calling January's full moon the Wolf Moon. Some tribes called January's full moon the Snow Moon, but most tribes applied that name toFebruary's full moon.
