Note:
In the Inuit world, all objects have life. “Everything lives! The lamp wanders about; the walls of the tent have their voice, the urine tub has its special country and house. The skins which sleep in the bag talk in the evening. The antlers lying on the graves get up in the night and wander about in the burial ground.” - Chukchi shaman
