Description
‘Sore Eyes Moon’, or ‘ištá wičháyazaŋ wí’, refers to the severe snowstorms that occur in March. Historically, these storms made it difficult for Dakota peoples to see where they were going when traveling as the weather would cause ‘snow-blindness’.
In the watercolor painting, a Dakota person, wearing traditional attire, gazes at the sky against a vibrant sunset backdrop with snow and a pine tree in the background.
