Dancing human and animal spirits, especially those of deer, seals, salmon and Beluga whales.

The ghosts of slain enemies who are restless for revenge. They are trying to rise from the dead and attack.
|
|
|
Spirits of the dead playing ball with a Walrus skull.

Walrus spirits playing ball with a human skull.
|
|
|
The spirits of children who died at birth. The dancing of the children
around in a circle causes the moving streamers and draperies.

Nanahbozho, creator of the Earth,
traveled to the north and
built large fires, of which the lights are reflections,
to remind people that he still thinks of them.
|
|
|
Torches used by friendly giants in the north, to attract the fish that they spear at night.
|
|
|
Fires over which the warriors of northern nations simmer
their dead enemies in enormous pots.
|
|
|
Fires in the far north. A tribe of dwarves, half the length of a canoe paddle but so strong they catch
whales with their bare hands, boil blubber over the fires.
