"This is the story of the sun and the moon. The story about the children who became the sun and moon is a sensitive subject because it involves incest. There was a brother and a sister living in a camp, and every night when the girl was sleeping, someone came to the iglu and had sex with her. She couldn't figure who it was. One day she had the idea to put some soot in her hand so that when the boy came back, she could touch his face to mark him, and she would know who he was the next day. She did that, and the next day she saw her brother with the torch and realized it was him. They started running and circling the iglu, both holding torches. While they were running, he tripped and fell and his fire went out. She flew into the sly with the light, but her brother only had an ember. That's how she became the sun with bright light and he became the moon with his dimly glowing light. In other versions of the story, the boy takes flight while inside the iglu. When I read about him being inside the iglu, I thought that would be interesting, so I drew that."
