A LEGEND WASCO
In the days of the Great Father, near Mount Hood lived a warrior named Plain Feather. His Spirit Protector was a big moose. The elk taught the warrior to hunt so well that he became the best in his tribe. But always his protector's Spirit say: "do not hunt anymore than you can use for your needs. Only in this way there will be enough food for everyone." Plain Feather obedient to His Spirit. The other soldiers teased him because he did not want archery only for fun but he obeyed his Spirit.
Smart Crow, one of the elders of the tribe, he thought wickedly to disobey the warrior to the words of his Spirit. Smart Crow said he had a vision and that the Great Spirit had told him that the winter would be long and cold. "Kill as many animals as possible," said Smart Crow warriors "We must preserve the meat for the winter." Plain Feather did not want to disobey the order but believed Smart Crow. For the first killed deer and bears, and finally found five bands of elk. Killed them all except one who ran away wounded. Through forests and up the mountain, following the tracks of the FTAA and eventually joined him in a small lake. Then he heard the animal clearly say, 'Why did you disobey? " "All around you there are the spirits of the animals you've killed." "I'll no longer be your Spirit Protector. You have disobeyed me and you have betrayed my friendship." Wounded in body and mind Plain Feather returned to the village. "I'm sick," he said "I lost my Spirit Protector, the Great Elk. He is lost in the lake of spirits. "Then he turned on his side and died. Since then, the Indians call this lake" The Lake of Lost Spirits. "Inside there are the spirits of thousands of deaths. On its surface, like a monument them, reflecting the Mount Hood.
