==== Other names ==== The mountain sits partly inside the reservation of the [[Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs]], which comprises multiple languages including [[Sahaptin language|Sahaptin]], [[Upper Chinook language|Upper Chinook/Kiksht (Wasco)]] and [[Northern Paiute language|Numu (Paiute)]]. However, it has been difficult to determine names originating from these or other indigenous languages specifically referring to Mount Hood. [[Eugene S. Hunn|Eugene Hunn]] suggests that the mountain may have lacked a specific name:<ref>{{Cite book |last=Hunn |first=Eugene |url=https://diglib.amphilsoc.org/islandora/object/hunn-eugene-plateau-indian-place-names |title=Plateau Indian Place Names |date=1988 |publisher=Phillips Fund for Native American Research Collection |pages=3 |language=English}}</ref><blockquote>Learning a landscape is not simply a matter of naming all the rivers and mountains... The Native American perspective emphasizes by contrast places as focal points of activity, places where significant human-landscape interactions occur. Thus, while a few prominent peaks may be given Indian names, such as '''taxùma''' [təqʷuʔməʔ] for [[Mount Rainier|Mt. Rainier]] (in the [[Lushootseed|Puget Salish language]]) or '''lawilayt-łà''' [lawílatɬa], literally "the smoker," for Mt. St. Helens (in Sahaptin), other prominent peaks, e.g. Mts. Adams and Hood, are known simply as '''pàtu''', a general term for snow-capped summit.</blockquote>
