Early Native Americans traced the seasons and lunar months by naming them according to the events of the time. The full moon of June is either the last full moon of spring, or the first of summer, and is called the "Strawberry Moon." According to The Old Farmers Almanac, the name originated from the Algonquin tribes in eastern North America - and was used as a symbol to collect ripe wild strawberries. Colonial Americans adopted some of the indigenous names for the moon and applied them to their calendar system - which is still used today.
