===Blind boy and loon===
{{main|The Blind Man and the Loon}}

Aningaat and his sister are orphans living with their grandmother (in some tellings their mother{{sfn|Ikinilik|1931}}{{sfn|Kusugaq|1979}} or stepmother).{{sfn|Kublu|1999}} The brother is blind. One day a [[polar bear]] comes to their camp, to the window of their house. The brother shoots the bear through the window, but his grandmother lies and says he only hit the window frame. The grandmother butchers the bear in secret, keeping the meat for herself and the girl. The boy is given dog meat and not allowed to live in the main house. The sister gives her brother bear meat in secret.

The brother asks his sister to take him to a nearby lake where there are [[red-throated loon]]s. He stands by the lake until he hears the sound of a kayak and a voice invites him to sit in it. He sits and is paddled toward the center of the lake. (In Kusugaq's telling he is simply led into the lake, without a kayak).{{sfn|Kusugaq|1979}} They are submerged. When Aningaat needs air, they resurface. After taking air, they dive again. The stranger asks if he can see. This repeats several times: they dive, the stranger asks the boy if he can see. The stranger licks the boy's eyes (a detail not in Ivaluardjuk's version){{sfn|Ivaluardjuk|1929}} and they dive again. Each time the boy can see a little more, and by the end he is no longer blind. The stranger is a loon (a detail not in Kappianaq's version).{{sfn|Kappianaq|1998}}

Returning home, Aningaat asks his grandmother about the bearskin he can now see. She lies, saying she got it from people who visited in an {{lang|iu|[[Umiak|umiaq]]}}.

Now that he can see, the boy makes a harpoon and uses it with [[white whale]]s passing along the shore. One day his grandmother comes hunting whales with him, serving as the anchor for the harpoon line. She tells him to harpoon the smallest whale, but he harpoons the largest. The large whale pulls her into the water, she surfaces once more, then disappears under the water. (In Kappianaq's version she becomes a narwhal, her hair becoming the horn).{{sfn|Kappianaq|1998}}

Aningaat and his sister move to a new camp. There, while getting water, the sister is attacked. The brother saves her. He heals her, then they move to a new camp.

They move to a new camp, inhabited by people who lack genitalia or anuses. Nonetheless both siblings marry people from this group, and the sister becomes pregnant and gives birth.
