Mount Saint Helens is often associated with myths and legends from various Indigenous tribes, particularly the Cowlitz and Yakama, who tell stories of the mountain as a powerful spirit or a guardian. One common myth describes the mountain as a giant woman, known as "Loowit," who was punished by the Creator for her jealousy, leading to her fiery eruptions. Additionally, some stories suggest that the eruptions are caused by her grief and anger over lost love. These myths highlight the cultural significance of the mountain and its natural phenomena in Indigenous narratives.
