Why is the June Full Moon referred to as a Strawberry Moon?
The Strawberry Moon doesn’t appear to be a strawberry and neither is it pink in color. Traditionally in North America and Europe, Full Moons have been given names linked to native cultures and customs. According to The Old Farmer’s Almanac, “This name (Strawberry Moon) has been used by Algonquin, Ojibwe, Dakota, and Lakota peoples, among others, to mark the ripening of ‘June-bearing’ strawberries that are ready to be gathered.” The Algonquin, Ojibwe, Dakota and Lakota are indigenous American tribes. The Strawberry Moon is usually the final Full Moon of spring or the primary one of many summer season season.
