164 Snow-capped Mountain

After Gu Jun revealed the new clue, Phecda immediately contacted Moscow to start an investigation into the Inuits. But the Inuits were a minority group made up of many small tribes, and they were spread quite sparsely across the Arctic circle with each tribe having their own culture and legends. The ship migrants back then supposedly came from a small tribe based in Chukchi. Due to their isolated geography, not much was known about their religion and culture. The sparse records said that they worshiped some kind of ancient and native deity, one that encouraged them to lead a life sheltered from modernization. Due to their self-isolation, not much was recorded about them.

The Inuits from this tribe were later forced to migrate to Wrangel Island. Some died on the island while others disappeared and were speculated to have joined other tribes. That made information gathering and research on this particular group of Inuits very difficult.
