Right, not being a native I know not all the tribal names for things
Not according the Puyallup Tribe
which disagrees with the yakama
Which makes sense, the Puyallup were (are) a Lushootseed-speaking Salish tribe. The Yakima lived out east and spoke a different language. Names and pronunciations won't match up 1:1.
yeah no the only point I'm making is that no one people has like, an 'objective' name for the mountain. many tribes have variations, none of them are 'right'
Mount Rainier (/reɪˈnɪər/), also known as Tahoma, is a large active stratovolcano in the Cascade Range of the Pacific Northwest. The mountain is located in Mount Rainier National Park about 59 miles (95 km) south-southeast of Seattle.
