 | | Blue Mound was once considered to be a sacred mountain by the Hotcâgara. |
 | | It has two peaks, the west peak being called Wihâgadja (< Wihâ´ga-edja), "the Place of the Second Born Daughter." [1] It is said by some that partway down the mountain, where a spring flows out from a chert outcropping, Earthmaker himself used to sit and view the countryside. |
 | | Since xede means both "large, great" and "older," it would seem that the taller West Blue Mound would be named after the elder sister; so the names may be switched. |
