Before the moon was in the sky, he was a man who was very proud of his sons, until they disrespected him. 'Moon Man' explains the origins of the moon and why it rises full each month. The moon is a reminder of the anger felt by the father at his sons disrespect, but also the anger of the women at the way moon-man dealt with their sons. This is a cycle of violence which is represented by the cycles of the moon and teaches people to listen and respect the wishes of others.
