The Wild World of Inuit Folklore

[@aoibhie1208]

Irish folklore is insane too. Some of our favourites are "The man who dies if he gets off a horse", "the four children who become swans and then die", "the child who kills a dog and then becomes the new dog for the owner", "the man who pretends to be a giant's baby to scare a real giant", and "the man who gained infinite knowledge because he burned his finger on a salmon". The horse guy is the salmon guy's son. The salmon guy is the same guy as the baby guy.

[@cerberaodollam]

And the "men get period pains because they forced a pregnant woman to run a marathon"

[@PALACIO254]

@@thomastakesatollforthedark2231 basically, tupilaq/tupilak legend has it that carving into some kind of hard animal matter (ivory, enamel, bone, etc) and sending it off to someone will curse them, I.E. kinda like mailing someone anthrax minus… well the anthrax. If your curse didn’t happen to them, you’d be afflicted instead. Kiviuq/Kiviuk/kayak, etc, is a kinda Inuit folk hero who would go on journeys and pester poachers, spirits, and just not very nice people in general all nondescriminatory like.

Actually, the self mastectomy of the Malina and Anningan story might be a cross from another variant of a variant of the story where Anningan raped his sister while they were playing like they used to as children. Adding to this, in that variant, she blackened his face while fighting him off (a lamp for knocked over during the scuffle). Also, a lot of these stories were oral, so that might account for some of it (i.e WHY she cut off her breasts; Some versions say she ran off because she was ashamed and another says she ran off to get away from her brother, who, apparently, felt no remorse). In one version of the Sedna myth, it says that her middle fingers 🖕 became the polar bear and, considering how vengeful she can be, it would make sense that the polar bear ("nanook") would be one of the few creatures to go after humans.

[@Miriarim]

Tokuijin how do you know all this? Are you an Inuit or just searched for it out of interest?

[@rugaritolager7411]

isn’t the middle finger only an insult n the west? or like european culture

[@Tokuijin]

@@rugaritolager7411 , it is or can be, depending on where you're from and who you ask. In the US, it tends to mean "Fuck you.", though I think the version of the Sedna myth and the polar bear being her middle finger might have been coincidental (I don't know too much about Inuit cultures to know if the middle finger is a vulgar sign or not).

[@Tokuijin]

@@Miriarim , well, I do spend a lot of time to myself, so much of said time, on laptop or otherwise, is spent reading, however, I could say that amateur folkloristics (study of myth/folklore) is something of a hobby, so, yes, I searched it (or read more on it) out of interest.

some more folklore from a friendly village-hood Inuk! Growing up, we were told stories about the northern lights. They're a playful bunch and like dancing a lot. You can't whistle at them, because that's an invitation for them to chop your head off. Then they'll use it like a ball and bounce it around and tossing it to each other. To get them away, you clap and have your hood on - assuming you're wearing a hoodie. I personally haven't had an experience like that but some cousins of mine said they had to hide under a house and clap when they got scared.

[@t6hp]

I'm always amazed at how come people who live near the northern lights have not come up with some religion to straight out worship it. I know I would have.

As an inuk (inuvialuit specifically and yes I know I look asian/white) from northern Canada this is pretty accurate and funny as hell! Most inuk and other arctic indigenous people here are INCREDIBLY superstitious and most of our stories are based on life lessons. We have a story about (I cant remember her name) but essentially if you're a kid playing by the water bank alone she grabs you and pulls you in to drown you. We do eat every part of the animal...I dont join in when my elders eat the eyes or tongue of something but other things I'll probs try. Also Eskimo is a racist term in my culture, it means "raw meat eater" which is a term to define my people as uncivilized and is usually avoided among my peoples as it's kind if like using the N word for a more relatable example Edit: Spelling and Grammar

[@gingermcgingin1733]

I grew up in the Canadian Artic so I was nervous for this one... but well done :) I love the absolute superstition of Inuit culture. Where I'm from the Inuit souls were said to be guided into the sky upon death and actually make up the Northerns Lights themselves. The theory I got is that if you whistle loudly the lights will get bigger- but if they get too large it will anger the souls and they'll cut your head off to use it as a ball to play with. To get the more excited lights to back off because you've angered the spirits, you're meant to clap your hands. :) I appreciate your use of the proper term Inuit as well 👍

Fun fact: without moon and sun, there is night, actually. Eternal night, in fact, because sun is the only thing that differentiates between day and night, and is our only source of light. Background light from the universe would be much dimmer than the moon so it doesn’t count. So yeah, it was technically at night.

[@cooperm4185]

Yes but the story also has day because night ends so it still doesn't make sense

[@splorngo]

Cooper M so there’s the whole 24 hrs of day/night thing in pretty extreme parts of Alaska, with minor differences to differentiate day/night. They have civil daytimes to maintain normalcy, so I wouldn’t doubt it’d be similar for natives. The whole “during the day” thing in the story would just be a way to explain “while everyone was awake” thing.

The woman that became the moon goddess was Vibe checked on the top of a Temple by her husband because a feather landing on her which caused her to become pregnant and he saw that as infidelity. He kicked her dismembered body down a flight of stairs but the baby was still alive and was so pissed off about what happened to his mom that he popped out of his dead mom alive, and fully armored with a weapon in hand. And went up and killed the husband. and then proceeded to pick up the parts of his mother and Yeeted her bits into space which each of her parts became the moon and stars. And in a way bringing her back to life and to live on. The Aztecs to honor and worship her would kick gals down flights of stairs. Aztec mythology is fun

Tbh that is vastly different from the story I know of her. The story I know is, she didn’t want to get married for the longest time but her father marries her off to a tall, strong man.

If you are interested in any please look them up, there are the Qallupaluit, Giants, miniature people, the shadow world! Shapeshifters etc..
