Quviasukvik (Inuktitut: ᖁᕕᐊᓲᑎᖃᕐᕕᒃ; "Christmas"), is the first day of the year according to Inuit.
The festival of the New Year is celebrated by Inuit, Yupik, Aleuts, Chukchi, NunatuKavummiut and the Iñupiat.
[3] The feast originally derives from traditional Inuit religion but in modern times, it has Christian influences.
[4][5] The Quviasukvik festival starts on Christmas Eve and ends on January 7.
Due to Christian influences, Christmas was considered a new year to the Inuit which gave the festival its name.
