All of the hunters follow him because they, of course, think he is a real seal that will provide a good meal for their families. Before the hunters reach her grandson, the old woman magically creates a storm in which everyone but her grandson and Kiviuq are drown. Her grandson swims safely back to shore, where she turns him back into a boy. Kiviuq drifts away in his kayak to a foreign land where he continues to experience adventures and lives with people of many different nationalities. In another adventure, Kiviuq comes across a group of cannibals.
Cannibals are people who eat other people.
In the Arctic, there is always the possibility that you might starve if you do not catch enough food. In this adventure, Kiviuq encounters cannibals who want to eat him because they do not have enough caribou, seals, fish or walrus to eat. The cannibals do not want to starve, so they are willing to eat any living thing, including people. Inuit believe that cannibalism is wrong, so the stories show how horrible and tragic it is to be a cannibal. As the story goes, Kiviuq comes to a village of cannibalistic spirits.
