Devils Head

Devils Head is a mountain summit in Alberta, Canada, whose historical significance lies chiefly in its name. Rather than preserving an unrelated later invention, the name retains a Cree original, we-ti-kwos-ti-kwan. That survival connects the summit to Cree language and regional Indigenous naming traditions, making the place notable less for recorded events than for the endurance of an Indigenous name tied to the landscape.
