“There is a local myth of two shamans that shifted shapes. One becomes a polar bear and the other a walrus. They fought but I don't know the rest. Now they became rock which is called ‘Kinngait Mountain.’ After I heard this, asuillaa! When the wind blows against the big hill it appears as if the polar bear is breathing!"
