Question
Legendarily, these people once lived alongside a race of tiny fisherman who lived beneath the leaves of the butterbur plant. A culture hero of these people who wields a mugwort spear was born from an elm tree. The hearth goddess of these people instructed women to make sacred girdles called kut, for which she is known as the “People Teacher.” A wagtail stomped upon patches of mud to create land in the creation legend of this people, whose men may wear (*) sapanpe (“suh-PAWN-pay”) crowns decorated with shaved wooden sticks called inaw (“ee-NAW-oo”). Members of this people group tell wepeker (“way-PAY-kair”) folktales and recount longer epics known as yukar. These people, who traditionally worshiped the owl deity Cikap and the killer whale god Repun, perform a ritual called iomante, during which they would drink the blood of a sacrificed bear cub. For 10 points, what people who revere kamuy (“kah-MOO-ee”) are indigenous to Hokkaido? ■END■
