Inuit Mythology

Inuit mythology consists of oral traditions from Arctic indigenous peoples, focusing on animism, where all things—humans, animals, and nature—possess a spirit or anirniq. It emphasizes survival in a harsh environment, respecting natural spirits through rituals, and the central role of shamans (angakkuq). Key figures include the sea goddess Sedna, the sky god Sila, and tales explaining natural phenomena like the Aurora.
