Aurora Borealis

An Eskimo Legend

In the direction of the north wind live the manabai'wok (giants), of whom we have heard our old people tell. The manabai'wok are out friends, but we do not see them anymore. They are great hunters and fishermen, and whenever they are out with their torches to spear fish we know it, because then the sky is bright over the place where they are.
