    Curious, Native Taiwanese has a similar tale. The Jaguar and the Black bear (who weren't black at the time) agreed to paint each other, to make themselves look more beautiful. Bear painted Jaguar with flowery dots so he shined like summer, but when cunning Jaguar was asked to return the favor he didn't want Bear to look as good, so he covered Bear with dark mud until he's entirely black, which Bear did not take well. To this day, Bear (now black) continues to chase after Jaguar for his misdeed.

    understanding both in English and inuktittut. watched it growing up andstill can't get tired of it. tulugak (raven) and okpik (owl) myth or legend, it seems that way. some legends and myths still gets my mind wandering all over the place. :) thanks for sharing

      @Aninga32 7 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      translate is ongoing throughout most of the video. owl and raven used to be good friends. says the interpeter. from being too happy the raven recieved the kamiks from the owl. who started moving around looking at his new kamiks, owl started getting mad, so it threw the black liquid unto the raven. just a myth, but looks legit. lol

      Raven painted Owl's chest and wing spots so well that she gave Raven new kamiqs as a gift.

      Christian Tagoona-Tapatai Your grandma has a beautiful voice. I am not Inuit, but her singings somehow...made me cry? Idk, I feel very touched. There is something so innocent, optimistic, and welcoming about her voice. I am certain that she must be a wonderful woman 🌹 You are lucky to have a wonderful woman like her.

    Whenever it came on NWT or CBC North before APTN, my eyes were glued to the TV, and when I saw it in school, every kid was excited to see it, along with the owl and the lemming.

    Wow, that must have taken ages to produce. I once did a 2 or 3 minute stop-motion film to show my kids how film works, and that took me several days. I'm very impressed. And the singing is wonderful too. Great little video!

    That's fascinating! I've never heard Inuit language before, and if I'd been asked to identify it, I'd probably have guessed some dialect of French due to the similar intonations.
    It's a charming story, by the way, and a lovely animation.

      Inuit didn't have toys and doll's back then, so Inuit played with what they can, Bones. That is what was a pass time for kids and mothers, that's what they played with, so they are telling about the story of the Owl and the Raven, Owl loved her new painting , she repaid the Raven with kammiks, the Raven was so Happy for its new Kammiks, he couldn't stay still when the Owl was painting him, the owl was so frustrated because the Raven couldn't stay still, so the Owl dumped all Black paint all over the Raven, that is why the Raven is still Black to this day. That is the Moral of the story. They have Never gotten along ever since. Ravens are so stubborn too!

      @mrj.kottari8453 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      It's basicly the same how children in southern lands "build" houses and barns etc. in the dirt with sticks (the floor plan of buildings) and use small rocks and pine cones etc. as "animals" and other objects in their imaginative "house/farm/factory management" plays.
      Up where inuits live, there are not many trees, so small rocks and caribou/seal bones were items inuit children used to create similar imaginative scenarios as southern children build with twigs, rocks and tree cones.
      Owl builds a "floor plan" of an igloo in the story and then hauls two "seals" (actually, seal bones) on a "sled" made from bones to the "igloo".
      The small finger bones of a seal are "sled dogs" in that scenario
