    'Naatuq, My Grandmother's Story. '[Stop?] lying!" "Do not say (that it was) Kanayuq." (not Kanaguyq's stories) / [unknown, paper skinned] these are Naatuq's stories." "We also used to / [unknown, paper skinned] them from my grandmother." [unknown, paper skinned] have just read that the stories came from Kanayuq." / apparently you (all of you) have been telling lies (about who is telling the stories) / "My grandparents, the Noahs, used to tell truthfull stories. / I know, because now I have seen these things on T.V. and in / the movies." (in space travel etc, travel to the moon) / "Here is (the legend of) the brother and sister." / (the brother + sister who became the sun and the moon.)"
