Frost in the House
Sunday, February 1, 2026
Today is the eleventh full moon of this Lakotan year. In the past 100 years there has only been two other years when a full moon fell on the first day of February. One of those times was the year that Lydia Whirlwind Soldier was born. Lydia has given two collections of her poems to CAIRNS in support of our mission to advance "knowledge and understanding of American Indian communities and issues important to them.” This month's column, “Frost in the House,” can be read now by clicking here. The image above is the cover of Coming Home Songs, the second of Lydia’s publications by CAIRNS. Copies are available for purchase on the CAIRNS website.
