Kiviuq, a legendary figure in Inuit mythology, is celebrated as a heroic adventurer deeply embedded in Arctic culture. As a wandering shaman, he navigates the vast and icy landscapes, encountering a myriad of supernatural beings and overcoming numerous challenges. In this work, Kiviuq summons a giant fish to carry him across the water while searching for his wife, who is a goose, and their half-human, half-goose children.
