Listen to historians Maria Kreutzmann & Ujammiugaq Engell explain five of the mythological creatures of Greenland: Tupilak, Qivittoq, Sassuma Arnaa, Erlaveersiniooq, and Ikusik. Some serve as teachers, while others instill fear. All are shaped by the long Arctic nights and Greenland’s harsh climate.
