Nusatsum Mountain

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Nusatsum Mountain (2,575 m/8,448 feet),[1] is a mountain in the Pacific Ranges of the Coast Mountains of British Columbia, Canada, located near the Nusatsum River and south of and between the communities of Firvale and Hagensborg. The mountain is the equivalent of Mount Ararat in the traditions of the Nuxalk, as the place where survivors found refuge from the Great Flood.[2]

Other spellings of Nusatsum seen on older maps include "Nootsatsum", "Noosatum" and "Nutsatsum".[3]
