Planting a Baby

Kakuarshuk，an Inuit tale compiled in Angela Carter's Book of Fairytales, which speak of a time long ago when women got their children by digging in the earth. They would not have to travel far to find little girls, but boys were more difficult to locate, often they would have to dig extremely deep in the earth to get at the boys. Thus it was that strong women had many children and lazy women very few children or no children at all.

Women Plant babies, women are the earth, women are the medium. Women bred and nourish the earth.
