Siqiniq (the Sun) was staying all alone in an igloo. The camp would hold festivities in the qaggiq. One day, as usual, they started to hold a qaggiq early in evening when it was dark. Someone rushed into Siqiniq's igloo and blew out her qulliq at the same time. She was then pinned down and molested. This happened a number of times and Siqiniq was unable to find out who her attacker was.

Her cooking pot always hung over her qulliq. When her attacker came again, she reached out and tried to touch the pot but her lamp was out and it was completely dark. Finally she managed to touch the pot. She then wiped her sooty hands on the face of her aggressor.

After she had been molested once again the aggressor left her igloo. She followed him to see where he would go, hoping to finally find out who he was. She saw him going to the qaggiq where the festivities were being held. As she neared it she could hear people laughing. Someone was saying: 'Taqqiq inutuarsiurasumut aasit naatavinaaluk'. - Taqqiq (the Moon) has been marked with soot as he has again been looking for someone who might have been alone.

So Siqiniq entered the qaggiq and saw that her brother's face was covered with soot. Embarrased and angry, she took her breast, cut it off and offered it to her brother saying that, as he liked all of her so much, why not eat her breast as well.

Her brother refused the breast, but she continued to offer it. Then they both lit torches and ran out of the qaggiq. Siqiniq followed, breast in hand, still offering it to her brother. As she chased her brother around the qaggiq, Taqqiq fell down, extinguishing the flame on his torch, leaving only smouldering embers. Siqiniq's torch continued to burn brightly. Soon they both went up to the sky where the sister became Siqiniq, the Sun, while her brother became Taqqiq, the Moon."
