Mount Grant (Northern Paiute: Kurangwa), plays a major role in the creation story of the groups of Northern Paiute people whose ancestors periodically lived near the mountain during their seasonal migrations. Kurangwa is a sacred being to them and is responsible for the creation of the Walker Lake (Agai Pah).Ginny Bengston (2002).
