Home > Wy'east

 
Wy'east is the original native American name for Mount Hood in the Cascade Range in Oregon.

Local legend has it that it is named after a chief of the Multnomah tribe, the tribe after which Multnomah County was named. The chief competed for the attention of a woman who was also loved by the chief of the Klickitat tribe. The anger that the competition generated led to all three of them being turned into volcanoes, with the Klickitat chief becoming nearby Mount Adams and the target of their affection becoming Mt. St. Helens.
