Greenlandic Mythology

  • K'uloĸutsuk was a figure in the myth about Aqissiaq, one of the most known myths next to the myth of Kaassassuk. The myth is believed to be a remnant from the presence of the Tuniit - Dorset people (AD 600-900), since it is only known in Greenland and not among other Inuit tribes. The myth is also composed in the way Indian myths are constructed. [2]
