I attempted to make a detailed presentation of Crater Lake. Of course it is far from being a good one. However, I did the best I could given the condition that I was making the film; a quite "primitive" camera as well as my lacking English. Anyhow, I believe it is a decent presentation. There are no words anyway to describe Crater Lake.
Early settlers and explorers did not hear about Crater Lake from the native inhabitants because this place is sacred to most Native Americans of Oregon and northern California. Makalaks (now Klamath Indians) held the belief that this place was so holy that looking upon it would lead to death. There are no stories relating to the crystal blue lake that formed after the eruption, indicating that these people became silent on the issue of Mount Mazama, the mountain that was no longer.

Even today, some Native Americans choose not to view Crater Lake. Its beauty and mystery form a religious context.
