Dude I bought your book years ago and it was GOATed! I thought you were gonna do another one soon, since then you’ve done so much, would you ever do another book? I’ve been watching this new channel about how nephilim look like clowns there’s some gravy but it’s annoying that he can’t discern gods from giants. Anyway your channels great and that book was really also very good I would absolutely get more of them.

As a Native American who is Inuk and Wampanoag I really appreciate you making these videos and for sharing our stories.

Sedna will always be one of my favorite characters from a lesser-known mythology. Poor girl just can’t catch a break in any story but she always comes out on top- er, bottom, as a sea god.

I am from the Scottish highlands. I have never heard of these stories but I instantly recognise and understand their meaning. The story of Qallupilluit story especially sounds a lot like the water kelpies in the highlands. They were a warning to stay away from the water's edge and in times of great hardship, they would also give children to the Kelpies so sad. " when the time was right mothers would cut the children free of the seaweed that the kelpies tied them to the loch with so they could be at peace." worlds apart same story. The Inuit people are amazing, thank you for sharing these stories.

it’s so interesting that humans have so many myths which are very similar. i was thinking of the Scottish legends myself. i didn’t know about the children given ti the kelpies though. other myths that are universal are creation myths, flood myths, demons, twin myths about creation, and more. thanks for the information. :) have a good day ☀️🌷🌱

@feralbluee aye! There are a few stories about giving human babies to the fairies to give to the devil with a fairy baby. To keep the clans safe from the evil eye. They would leave the baby on a fairy island for a fairy to pick it up. So sad, they truly believed that and to interfere was putting the whole clan at risk.

As a half native, thank you for covering these in your videos. It really means a lot.

I don't know if this is wrong, but I always felt that the biggest difference between a non-native and a native is how much they participate in that culture, rather than the percentage of blood they share, I am sorry if that was insensitive but someone calling themselves a native because a distant familiar was a native but they then behave as a normal christian, WASP American seems wrong, about as wrong as someone following all the culture, living in the same area and participating in their traditions being always seen as an outsider because they aren't 100% native. By all means you should be native full-stop. But again that's just how it seems to me I am very sorry if I offended anyone

As far as I know, the Ainu have a similar belief regarding hunting. They consider all animals to be deities which decide who deserves to catch game. And thus must be given a departure ritual so that they will tell their peers in afterlife to return.

That's a beautiful spiritual point of view.

As a child i had two recurring nightmares: One of a creature posing as my mother luring me close enough to eat me, followed by one of being tickled to death. The fact that those creatures from my nightmares are in the same order in this video back to back is nuts😱😰🤯

Kind of wish they had incorporated more Inuit mythology in Avatar.

Special mention goes to the Ahkiyyini; the skeletal spirit of Inuit folklore specifically from Alaska. It used its arm bone as a drumstick and scapula as a drum which caused earthquakes and tidal waves to overturn boats. Frightening but still not as scary or malevolent as the Gashadakuro of Japanese folklore.

Fun fact: In many Slavic languages, nanuk is the word for an ice cream bar on a stick. And, somewhat unfortunately, in other Slavic languages, the word for that type of ice cream is esky(i)mo. Then there are also combinations of the two. For instance, in Czechia, the word for that type of ice cream is nanuk and there is a brand of it called Eskymo. Although from what I could find, I see that this type of ice cream comes from the US where the original brand had apparently been called Eskimo Pie until 2021 or so. Which I found quite surprising.

Such warm & fuzzy stories from such a cold climate.

I had a very similar recurring dream and it usually followed after one of something posing as my mother luring me to eat me.

I just wanted to say thank you for another great episode! It's so good to see that this channel hasn't lowered themselves to the use of AI images with AI narration of an AI written script, like the other 10 000 similar channels on youtube. I've been interested in folklore from all around the world since I was recently recommended to check out many of these stories and it was so good to see some from around the Arctic.

I can't wrap my head around how someone came up with a tickle demon (or for what purpose) and expected it to be taken seriously, especially with a name like Mahaha. By its appearance, I thought it was some sort of Inuit wendigo, but nope, turns out it's an Inuit Joker.

@@steve-0493 Hello..

I was a camp counselor in bush Alaska with mostly Yupik campers. They told me a story of a monster called “Big Mama” (could not pronounce the native word) who sounds similar to Quallupilluit. It sounds like elders used her to scare kids into staying indoors past sunset

vvery nice, especialy loved the fact you covered not just sedna but the many layers of sedna based on regions. thank you,

More Inuit mythology. I only ever known Sedna.

I am from Greenland🇬🇱 but moved to Denmark as a 4 year old, so i never got to learn anything about myths and legends. So i appreciate this video👍🤘

I really do appreciate you doing mythologies from more unknown parts of the world and from groups of people who don't appear much as they should be by many industries like the entertainment industry for example. Indigenous peoples folklores and mythologies should be able to be expressed and talked about more by global audiences and get the proper attention they deserve to get by the rest of the world.

The picture given for the Mahaha(sp?) give me a much clearer idea of a reason to avoid such a one. The Artic is a very cold place. Long fingernails, hair blowing in the wind, and dude is giggling manically, all whilst being bare of foot and sporting a loincloth. This one is just pure plum crazy, even if not deadly!

The Tickle-Me-Elmo was far worse when it was released

I’m pretty sure I remember hearing it’s not really part of Inuit culture, but the Tuunbaq should be an honorable mention

Got to love that the "tickle monster" is named after the sound it and/or its victims would make.

I live in Alaska… Born and raised… I am a mythology and fiction explained about this is me winning at life

Inuit here thanks for the representation

This is amazing! And thank you for opening the video by explaining that the Inuit are several subgroups and peoples and stories! ❤❤ Loved your channel for years, and Im so happy to see the Arctic represented 😍

The Tuunbaq of the AMC show "The Terror" is loosely based on a creature in Inuit culture created when you want revenge. If it fails to get revenge for you, then it will come back to its creator to kill them.

the Nanook remind me of those bear hominids from His Dark Materials series

Nice. Less known mythology.

If Kratos’ next adventure doesn’t end up in the Egyptian Pantheon, then they could give Inuit mythology more attention.

First time viewer but love the sharing of culture. Can't believe you never heard of urayuli or ijiraqi

Great video.

The first peoples all had these beliefs, the sun included - e.g. Shintoism. the Native Americans would thank the animals they killed for food as their spirits left their bodies. they would thank the Earth for the food she gives, the trees for so many things. it seems quite natural to me. of course, we know all first peoples have and had myths and legends, monsters, giants, little people, creation myths. many had flood myths, it is thought because of the glaciers retreating. it’s all so fascinating. (“Fairy tales” are also universal - like a Cinderella tale shows up in American Indian, African, and Asian stories down to the bad sisters, the special dress, earning the heart of a hero, and the punishment of the bad sisters. who knows how this tale started out in Europe.)

Neat.

I feel like the Inuit and other various Native American religions give us a glimpse into Stone Age religion, it's really interesting. I believe Germanic/Norse paganism, Suomenusko, and Slavic paganism do the same thing.

A Western researcher once asked his Inuit friend, "What do you believe in?". He replied, "We don't believe. We are afraid."

The Nahani valley is quite full of mythology

she had a fate worst than death, and her father was the cause of creating marine life

Fun fact: Sedna is an SCP (or at least inspired an SCP) SCP-1836: ‘Mother in the Ice’

The algorithm requests engagement

It might have been the second or third to the last of the entities you were describing that the Intuit name sounded like Tom Cotton and I was reminded of one of the origin stories that might have inspired Rumpelstiltskin which had Babba yagga helping out the girl who had to guess the name of the devil himself and after getting him drunk Babba yagga gets him to give her his name which is Tom Cotton.
