Dans l’Arctique, le peuple Inuit est aujourd’hui majoritairement chrétien. Pourtant, de nombreuses croyances et pratiques ancestrales sont encore vivaces. Quelle est aujourd’hui la particularité du syncrétisme chrétien des Inuits? 
L’ethnologue suisse des peuples arctiques, Yvon Csonka, en parle au micro de Jessica Da Silva.

Story
Legend of the Origin of Animals According to Inuit Beliefs
At the beginning of the world, according to the Inuit, there was only one man and one woman. The woman asked Kaila, the sky god, for help in populating the Earth. Kaila ordered her to dig a hole in the ice and catch fish. So, one by one, the animals emerged: seals, bears, birds… until finally the caribou appeared. This was the most precious gift, as it would feed the people, provide shelter, and provide tools.
But humans began hunting only the largest and most beautiful caribou, weakening the species. So, the woman asked for help again. Kaila sent the wolf, sent by Amarok, the wolf spirit, to eat the weak and sick animals, thus maintaining balance.
Other Key Elements of Inuit Mythology
• Animals have souls (anirniit): They are not hunted, but allow themselves to be hunted. The hunter performs a ritual for their souls to return to the spirit world.
• Death and rebirth: Part of the soul goes to heaven or hell, another part is reincarnated in a newborn if given the name of an ancestor.
• Giants and goblins: In distant lands, the Inuit encountered the Tuniqs, fearsome giants, and cheerful little goblins that fit in the palm of the hand.
