| Mythological name. Possibly from Kwakiutl Indian: Quequtsa, which means 'sparrow'. Quloqutsuk was a figure in the myth about Aqissiaq, one of the most known myths next to the myth of Kaassassuk. The myth is believed to be a remnant from the presence of the Tuniit - Dorset people (AD 600-900), since it is only known in Greenland and not among other Inuit tribes. The myth is also composed in the way Indian myths are constructed. Also see the name Qulutaq. Robert Petersen: Aqissiap oqaluttuaani eqqumiiginartut. Ilisimatusarfik 1990. | ||||||
