Description
The Wintu Legend of Two Faces tells of a beautiful maiden named Rippling Water. She was Chief Lakadowa's love. Another warrior killed her out of jealousy. Chief Lakadowa avenged her death by killing her murderer, but was himself mortally wounded in the battle. His dying wish was that Rippling Water could always be near Mount Shasta, the mountain she loved. And that he, Lakadowa, could watch over her for eternity. Here, we see the beautiful maiden reclining forever atop Mount Shasta. The topmost peak is her nose and her hair flows softly down the south slope of the mountian. See my blog for the full story and overlays of the faces. (Link is at the top of the page.)
