According to the legend of the Inuit, Igaluk was a man who lived on Earth. He once forced himself upon a woman in the village's dance hall after the lights went out. However, after the lights came back on, he realized that she was his sister.

Igaluk's sister Malina, who was very angry at him, cut off her breasts and threw them at him. Her brother then went looking for her, but he tripped and fell into the snow. His torch, which was still glowing, left a ember.

The wind carried both of them up into the sky. Malina, who had her bright torch still shining, became the sun, while her brother, whose fading light was still visible, became the moon. The moon continued chasing his sister as she tried to avoid him, while the sun continued to rise.

Igaluk is said to have had the characteristic features of an Inuit male before reaching the skies and transforming into the all powerful moon.
