Mount Stephens, 1,592 metres (5,223 ft), prominence 1,047 metres (3,435 ft),[1] also known as Quay, Kwe or k'we in Kwak'wala, is a mountain in the Pacific Ranges of the Coast Mountains in British Columbia, Canada, located in the Central Coast region, northeast of Nimmo Bay and Mackenzie Sound and west of Kingcome Inlet.
[2] As K'we, Mount Stephens was the home of the thunderbird to the Gwawaenuk, who when he descended from the mountain took human form and became the ancestor of that group of Kwakwaka'wakw, whose principal village is now at Hegams, i.e. Hopetown on Watson Island in the Broughton Archipelago, from which a view of this mountain can be seen and is featured in a woodcut by artist Walter Phillips.
[3] Mount Stephens was named by Captain Vancouver after Sir Philip Stephens.
