Native American Stories and Ceremonies about Menstruation

A collection of traditional Native stories and ceremonies about menstruation, referred to in many Native American cultures as “moon time.”

Many nations across Turtle Island (North America) celebrate with a ceremony the rite of passage of girls who reach womanhood. Not only is the onset of menstruation a transformation in social status within a community, but it also can include a change in roles and responsibilities.
