- Story
To the people of the land and the sea, the moons indicate the season to harvest.
In my home village of Kitkatla B.C., the moon in November is the Clam Moon.
Images of rain, sleet, snow, low tides, gas lamps, and gunny sacks fade in and out of memory. Shadowy figures dance on the beach from the flickering flames of gas lamps. Finally, the boats slip through the night on their return from distant beaches.
Once again, we celebrate with a feast of hot chowder made with fresh clams during the "Clam Moon."
