[dontworryimonlydeadinside]

So I’ve been reading about Inuit culture and one of the things that stood out to me is how children are named.

They believe(d) that by naming a child after someone who had recently died they were inviting that person’s spirit to enter the baby. That spirit would then influence the life of that child.

And when you look at Bumi and Kya you can see bits of their namesakes personalities in them.
