Nunavut Creation Story

There was once a world before this and in it lived people who were not of our tribe. But the pillars of the earth collapsed, and all were destroyed. And the world was emptiness. Then two men grew up from a hummock of earth. They were born and fully grown all at once. And they wished to have children. A magic song changed one of them into a woman and they had children. These were our earliest forefathers, and from them all the lands were peopled.

- Tuglik, Igloolik area, 1922
