Navaranaaq, was adopted by Inuit of a clan different to her own. Navaranaaq would say when the wind came from the South that where her people lived probably that this time the women would be all alone because the men would be out hunting. So her adoptive people went to check if in fact the women were alone. All the women were killed except for two young girls who hid themselves in animal holes in the ground, hiding behind bitch with puppies. They held onto a grown puppy to shield themselves from being discovered. The two girls hid so they were spared. The igluit use to have neighbors so there was one woman in one of the neighboring igluit and who knew that they were going to come for her so she burnt all her beddings. Someone took out the ice window and started to feel to see if he could find find a person while he was shouting down into the iglu, "Where is that one below."
