The Myth of Malina the Goddess of the Sun #inuit #nativeamerican #northa...
The Myth
Of what is now Greenland
Her brother is the lunar god Igaluk
The tale of Malina and Aningak, central to Inuit mythology,
begins with their childhood, where they shared happiness and innocence. As they
grew older, they were separated into gender-assigned homes, initiating a shift
in their relationship.
Aningak, fueled by desire, pursued Malina in a misguided
attempt to claim her.
In this belief the moon and the sun move across the sky as a
direct result on their own going pursuit of one another
At some point he falls in love with her, struck by her beauty.
HE engages in sex with her without her consent. Due to this
violation she would hate her brother and cut off her breast and gave them to him
