This was generally a round stone, described as about the size of a man’s fist, and perforated. Not every house had one and no details could be obtained as to how a house acquired one. The purpose of the charm was to work to related to curing, first as a means of keeping illness from the house and second, as a non-shamanistic curing agent. When a member of the household became ill, the aaroraq was taken down from its place above the door descending into the hall and was rubbed over the affected parts of the sick person. Actually, this charm gave rise to a small curing ceremonial in which the activities associated with curing were communal rather than the individualistic ones performed by the shaman. A group of relatives and neighbors assembled outside the house and a fire was built for them there by the members of the household in which the sickness appeared.”]

Saŋmaliaq name of lagoon near Barrow, Alaska [Spencer 1959: p4. “Once, when Barrow had a reindeer herd, a herdsman at Saŋmaleak, the lagoon, was challenged to a race by a dwarf. The dwarf lived on the north side of the lagoon. As his weapon, he carried a piece of ivory, which was sharp on both ends. The dwarf and the man agreed to race but the man insisted that the dwarf run on the south side of the lagoon, while he would run on the north. Since the north side was straight and the south side irregular, the human won easily. The dwarf was very angry and tried to kill the man with his ivory weapon. The man drew an arrow and killed the dwarf. He took the head and kept it for all to see. It was like an owl’s head. It is still there and some people see it when they go up to the lagoon.”]
