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.
