Each of the six nations have their own language and diuretics regarding writing and this guide focuses on the Mohawk Nation. This guide includes the days of the week, thirteen moons, numbers one to thirty-one, and the seasons representative to each culture in both English and each nation’s language. Dialects may vary from nation to nation and community to community.
