Lore
Nusatsum Mountain, officially recorded as Nusq’lst Mountain, is a 2,575-metre peak in British Columbia’s Pacific Ranges near the Nusatsum River between Firvale and Hagensborg. For the Nuxalk, it holds profound cultural importance as the place where survivors found refuge from the Great Flood, making it comparable in their traditions to Mount Ararat. The name was officially adopted in 1947, though older maps preserve several variant spellings that show how it was recorded over time. In the marine west coast climate, heavy Pacific precipitation, winter snow, severe cold, and wind chill help sustain small glaciers on its slopes.
