Bryan Deel Making Nature Sacred: The Mountain that was God

Mount Rainier is a mountain known to Native Americans as "Tahoma" or "The Mountain that was God." The reason I believe they called Mount Rainier "The Mountain that was God" is that it massive size. Additionally, I believe that since its image is one of splendor, Native Americans could make symbolism with God. Furthermore, it is terrifying in that it has so much potential to cause destruction due to lava and avalanches. Overall, Mount Rainer is a mountain that should be observed through it historical presence.
