Mythology figures prominently in most religions, and most mythology is tied to at least one religion.
Stories from scripture are usually not referred to as mythology except in a pejorative sense, but one can speak of a Jewish mythology, a Christian mythology, or an Islamic mythology, in which one describes the mythic elements within these faiths without speaking to the veracity of the faith's tenets or claims about its history.

Inuit mythology has many similarities to the religions of other polar regions, such as Northern Russian mythology, Siberian mythology, Finnish mythology and Norse mythology.
While there are few believers left when compared to Christianity, for example, many Inuit do still hold to their ancestral religious beliefs; there are also neopagans who have integrated some or all of the Inuit beliefs into their own belief structures.
Many Inuit have merged those beliefs to a greater or lesser degree with Christianity or other religions, and may hold varying degrees of literal belief in what is described below.

 Sedna mythology
Sedna mythology The mythology of Sedna suggests the planet's astrological meaning the goddess of the victim.
Thus, because Sedna controls the food supply for the tribe, she is given the highest status of the various Inuit gods and goddesses.
Most versions begin this part of the story as follows: a well dressed stranger (in Inuit terms this means lots of fur clothing) arrives promising a fine comfortable life and asks Sedna& father for her hand in marriage.

This is the root word for a number of other Christian terms: anirnisiaq means angel and God is rendered as anirnialuk - the great spirit.
However, the belief in the pervasiveness of spirits - the root of Inuit myth structure - has consequences.
Tuurngaq has, with Christianisation, taken on the additional meaning of demon in the Christian belief system.
