Arnakuagsak

Dans la mythologie inuit, Arnakuagsak ("vieille femme de la mer") est une déesse inuit, l'une des premières divinités de la religion, qui avait la responsabilité de s'assurer que les chasseurs pouvaient attraper assez de nourriture afin que le peuple reste fort et en bonne santé. Elle fut d'abord idolâtrée au Groenland mais était similaire à Sedna, Arnapkapfaaluk et Nerrivik.

Nom alternatif: Arnarquagsag, Arnakua'gsak
