The Hawaiian lunar calendar is the traditional Hawaiian reckoning of time by lunar months, recorded here as its own calendar. Wikipedia's article on the Makahiki, the ancient Hawaiian New Year festival held in honor of the god Lono, shows the calendar at work, saying that the season lasts four consecutive lunar months, approximately from October or November through February or March. It is recorded as its own calendar entity so that the holidays and festivals reckoned by it can be grouped and compared in one place, while each holiday entry keeps its own dating facts and sources.
