But first, he wants to tell you a little bit more about Inuit astronomy and the role of the night sky for the communities that have lived in the far north for many generations.
voice-verified
The stars and constellations have played an important role for the Inuit.
voice-verified
With such long, dark days, the stars were essential in navigation during the winter months.
voice-verified
Many of the legends tied to the stars were designed to be memorable, so that people could remember how the constellations fit together as they made their way home.

Sometimes, indigenous knowledge is shared through stories.
voice-verified
And unfortunately, because many of the stories were passed down through oral tradition, some knowledge has been lost.
voice-verified
But these stories can be just as useful for understanding the sky as other kinds of scientific observations.
voice-verified
And tonight's story helps people remember the positioning of two clusters of stars.
voice-verified
So, let's begin this evening's legend, says Anik.
