The Inuit saw planets, though they thought they were just dim stars. They saw Saturn, and they named it after their god of the sea, Sedna. The Inuit also have a myth about a man who turns into a star.

An old man was hunting seals on the ice. A crowd of children were playing on a ravine near the shore, and their noise frightened seal after seal just as the old man was about to harpoon it. Soon, the man had had enough.

"Ravine, close up over those who are spoiling my hunt." He commanded the ravine.

The ravine obeyed, and the children were trapped inside it, where they all died of hunger. The people of the village soon heard of the old man's crime. To escape punishment, the old man took flight and rose in the sky and became a star.

We know this "star" as Venus.
