To many people who gaze across Cook Inlet from Anchorage, Alaska,
Mount Susitna looks like a slumbering woman. The Sleeping Lady is a
modern-day folk legend that accounts for both Alaska's first
snowfall and for the origin of this beautiful mountain. It is also
a classic tale about a time of peace and the consequences of war.
Enchanting oil paintings by artist Elizabeth Johns capture the
village life of the giant people, a prehistoric, peace-loving group
and the drama that ensues when they must face a band of menacing
warriors. The tale centers on the fate of the story's two betrothed
lovers, Nekatla and Susitna, whose encounters with war bring a
lasting change to the land and their people. Cloaked in snow in
winter and wildflowers in summer, Mount Susitna embodies the hope
for peace so relevant at any age. As much a mythical explanation
for natural phenomena as it is a tale about a time when people
lived in harmony with nature and each other.
