In the earth’s polar regions, a ghostly flicker and colourful glow often brighten the night sky. Whoever sees an aurora event will never forget this impressive experience. Finland’s Saami people, Alaska’s Inuit, Canada’s Native Americans and New Zealand’s Maori all have legends about the origins and meaning of this magic natural spectacle. These stories tell of spirits dancing in the sky, of a bright and better world where hunting game is abundant, of battling gods and celestial messages.
