Bag om Eskimo Folk-Tales (1921)

Eskimo Folk-Tales is a collection of traditional stories and legends from the indigenous people of Greenland, the Inuit or Eskimo. The book was originally published in 1921 and was compiled by Danish explorer and ethnographer Knud Rasmussen, who spent many years living among the Inuit and studying their culture and language.

Some of the stories feature well-known characters from Inuit mythology, such as the trickster figure, Raven, and the powerful sea goddess, Sedna. The book also includes detailed notes and commentary from Rasmussen, providing additional insight into the cultural significance and context of each tale.
