here's a website of American Indian names for moons:

Kim Kasch:
How bout sending the sacrifice over the waterfall in a barrel made from that tree stump...?

kadje70:
Or a white birch canoe filled with flowers (much more romantic)? Ooh I think we might be getting somewhere! I hadn't thought of the canoe representing anything.

Christine B.:
Something that required intellect to create could work for mind -- for example some kind of tool or puzzle, perhaps something invented by the Iroquois, that demonstrated the most positive application of human ingenuity. (Something that made it easier to collect water or make food, for example.) Also, something with drawings or writing on it could represent mind.

This story sounds so cool!

jojohn:
The spiritual theme made me think of a God's Eye but that's thought to be from Mexico. But maybe there are other symbols or artifacts that can be made or found that represent the spiritual side--like an infinity symbol, a dream catcher or something like that.

For mind . . . maybe some sort of a stone that the character holds and rubs while he/she's thinking. An empty box or pouch to represent the open mind ready to fill?  That's all I've got.
