The Shasta people always say "Waka nuey tuki wuki" when they see Mt. Shasta. It means "round and round but never on top". The Shasta people were forbidden from going above the tree line on Mt. Shasta unless they were preparing to die. So if they were in spiritual and mental distress, they would pray and circle around the Mountain below the tree line. These people have very distinct ways of getting ready to walk up the hill, but it is forbidden to tell these ways because it is against the spirituality of this beautiful tribe.

It is our beleif that all things upon the earth are sacred and should be treated with respect. All things have a spirit and should be treated accordingly. We beleive there is a spirit world that co-exists with what we see hear. smell. or feel. It is our beleif that the great spirit will raise us to the next level where we will once again have back our freedom to live in the right way as we did for thousands of yrs. prior to our enslavement by the whites.
