The Mythology of the Inuits is fascinating, it is like going back in time, a time before gods, before large civilizations, when people were at one with nature. This video looks at the most well-known myth, other motifs, and rituals of death to gain a basic understanding of Inuit culture and their beliefs.

*Correction: Algonquin isn’t a local dialect of the Inuit, it’s from the Algic language family.
