What is Inuit Mythology? | Obscure Mythologies

There is no other climate quite as inhospitable as the Arctic. Yet the Inuit people of Northern Canada, Alaska, Greenland and parts of Siberia have made it their home. No other people on earth have been so profoundly shaped by their climate as the Inuit, and their mythology reflects this. In this video, we’ll explore the mythology and folklore of the Arctic. From the idea of the ’Inua’ that lives in every human and animal, to the myth of Sedna - the Mother of the Sea. Oh, and who could forget about the hard-to-pronounce-well mythical beasts like the qallupilluit, naujakuksualuk and the adlet. I hope that you enjoy this video. I had fun experimenting with illustration in this one. Thank you all for 370k subscribers! H. --------- Chapters: 00:00 Intro 00:53 I. The Inuit 03:15 II. Key Beliefs 04:29 III. Sedna 06:32 IV.
