		The Inuit were the only people to inhabit the island for several hundred years, but in remembrance of the Viking settlement, Denmark nonetheless claimed the territory, and colonized it in the 18th century.

		In 1953, some Inuit families were forced by Denmark to move from their homes to provide space for extension of the base.

	Mana - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Mana refers to a supernatural force said to exist within all things, sometimes associated with maternal or lunar magic in mythology.
		The word mana is also found in Norse mythology, and it is at least in part to this source that we owe its modern use.
		However, in Norse mythology, mana was restricted to the vital life-essence of all that was good; i.e., love, harmony, etc. It was believed to be the source tapped into to perform white magic.

		Excepting certain obscure shamanistic rites, Inuit held nothing resembling honor or respect for the Sun and Moon, who have always been referred to more in the context of a story, for the sake of etiology (the assignment of a cause, origin or reason for something) or amusement.
		Early Inuit were nevertheless deeply spiritual, inspired by the land and sense of mystical awe that it instilled in them.
		Inuit were concerned with whatever gave them a practical edge, practicing a humanistic, even somewhat scientific, observation of nature.

		Inuit are not an especially martial culture, but these were little people in survival training.
		For Inuit can no longer count upon their isolation in the North to define them as a culture, and it is only by living generations acting as custodians of past knowledge — speaking the unspeakable — that Inuit will remain the magnificent people they are.
		The way Inuit viewed their relationship to animals, supernatural beings, anirniit (miscellaneous souls), land (mysterious Nuna), and sky (life-giving Sila) was completely independent from the practices of angakkuit.

		The category life-death-rebirth deity also known as a "dying-and-rising" god is a convenient means of classifying the many divinities in world mythology who are born, suffer death or an eclipse or other death-like experience, pass a phase in the underworld among the dead, and are subsequently reborn, in either a literal or symbolic sense.

		In Inuit language the greatest differentiation occurs in the glottal (throat) sounds as their phonemes distinguish between a K, G, and Q. There is in Inuit, a "P" and "V" sound, but it lacks a "B" or "F" sound.
		Inuit isiqpuq 'he comes in' is interesting in that it shows the use of the S sound in concepts of 'inside' which is common in Estonian and Finnish, as in sisu/sisu 'interior' or various case endings and suffixes.
		It is this similarity between the size, manner of use, of the Khanti one-man dugout, compared to the Inuit kayak that tends to support the notion that the Inuit, as the "Thule" culture, came to Alaska along the arctic coast of Siberia.

	14 SALADIN D'ANGLURE
		In view of the major role played by celestial bodies and meteoric forces in Inuit mythology, ritual and shamanistic practices, one wonders about the scantiness of references to ethno-astronomy in the abundant anthropological literature dealing with the Inuit.
		Although the religious meaning of certain celestial bodies such as the moon has often been discussed in several works on Inuit mythology and cosmology, the complex movements and cycles of that luminary have not been the object of rigorous observation and interpretation.
		In Inuit representations, sun and moon have a distinct, and complementary social sex, albeit marked by an androgyny which we proposed to call "third social sex".

		The truth is more interesting: Inuit peoples speak complex, highly agglutinative languages in which the mood/perspective of the speaker has a strong influence upon the shape of the word/sentence.

		As for how many names are available in Arctic mythology, here's a list of names from Inuit mythology I found:
		Apparently each animal species has a mentor, and the Inuit have a complex astronomy (they would, given the length of the night), so there should be a good supply of Inuit names.
		Add in Siberians and other "Arctic" mythologies, and you've probably got as a big a corpus of mythological names as in any non-literary corpus.
