    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.

    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.

    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

    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.
