This evening's full moon is called Chanpasapa Wi, Ripe Chokecherries, which is also the name of the month between today and the next full moon. Chokecherry trees and their fruit are incorporated in many ways into Lakotan society and ceremonies. This CAIRNS Etanhan Wotanin column refers to a narrative that says it was one hundred and twenty-one years ago this month that the Hunka ceremony was changed.
