The Sky Wiper
After weeks and weeks of super busy it’s Thanksgiving and I’m enjoying a few days off. I headed down to Graham to see my brother Terry and though I’ve done it several times, I just had to stop to take in this view of Mt Rainier.
The indigenous people of the Pacific Northwest called her Talol, Tacoma, and/or Tahoma, meaning the mother of waters in the Lushootseed language spoken by the Puyallup. Another meaning is Ta (larger) Koma (than Mt Baker) and other names include Tacobeh and Pooskaus.
Mount Rainier is definitely a mother to several waters including the rivers Carbon, Puyallup, Mowich, Nisqually, Cowlitz and several other tributaries... These rivers join Puget Sound to the northwest and southwest in three counties, King, Pierce, and Thurston. The Cowlitz heads south and empties into the Columbia River at Longview.
Personally I like the name Ti’Swaq pronounced “tea-swawk” (more or less in modern day tongues, with an exhalation on the final 'k' like blowing out a candle) according to Robert Satiacum Jr., of the Puyallup tribe. Ti’Swaq translates to ‘the sky wiper’. It touches the sky! There’s a movement here by local tribes to restore the mountain’s traditional names. A favorite of mine is Tahoma.
I think it’s ... more
