Very hastily made but another post reminded me
Basically some oral histories from Inuit and northern Canadian tribes have stories of things that looked like people but had more hair, were extremely pale, gaunt, would ferociously attack and eat almost any man or animal, and couldn’t communicate in any intelligible language they recognized… and meanwhile several expeditions to find the northwest passage were being sent out from Europe. Some of these stories were even attempted to be used to track down the possible resting places of lost expeditions.
