Hi, I'm Jane Marie, host of The Dream, and I'm excited to announce that we're back with a brand new season.

A lot has changed since last season, like, you know, the whole world and everything, but also my butt.

I have been sitting on it for a couple of years and

we're gonna get me off it by hiring a life coach. We'll talk to the pros and

some of the cons and figure out if gurus are worth the hype.

Listen to the Dream on the I Heart Radio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your

podcasts. Welcome to broadcasts.

Welcome to Stuff to Blow Your Mind, a production of I Heart Radio.

Hi, my name is Robert Lamb, and this is The Monster Fact, a short-form series from stuff to blow your mind focusing in on mythical creatures, ideas, and monsters in time.

In this episode I'd like to turn to the traditions of the Inuit, specifically the Inuit

of the Eastern Hudson Bay region of what is now Canada. In the Dictionary of Native American mythology,

Sam D. Gill and Irene F. Sullivan relate the story of a pair of killers, other telling monsters who terrorized the people.

Ekutuyuk, whose name means one who drills, and his brother would capture people, pin them down in their backs, and then murder them by drilling

holes in their bodies. Afterwards, they would cover a corpse with piles of rocks, like

Kearns, or to the Inuit Inuksuk.

Inuksuk were largely used to aid navigation, but were sometimes used as warnings of dangerous

crowns.

According to the myth, the brothers continued their horrible crimes until a two-net

set out to stop them.

The two-net were a legendary people said to live long ago, possibly connected to an actual paleo-escimo culture.

They were tall, giants even, and possessed a fierce energy and competition.

Gill and Sullivan share that to Knit were said to die of exhaustion from fierce competitions and feats of hunting and archery.
