Description
The ‘Hard Moon’, or ‘withéȟi wí’ refers to the hardships faced during the height of the winter, in January. This month is also referred to as “Hard Times Moon” because, historically, this time of the year made it difficult for the survival of Dakota and other indigenous tribes in the region.
The watercolor drawing depicts a bare tree with few leaves next to a buffalo skull on the ground. In the background, a large yellow moon dominates the sky.
