A fact from Adlet appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 7 August 2010. The text of the entry was as follows: Did you know... that in Inuit lore the Adlet are mythical creatures, half-man and half-dog, but the term may also denote inland natives? A record of the entry may be seen at Wikipedia:Did you know archive/2010/August.

Five of the woman's ten children were dogs who crossed the seas to engender the European races.

How did the Inuits know about the European races? How old is this myth? 62.47.191.138 11:42, 13 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Well, their first contact with Europeans would've been with the Vikings in Greenland about a thousand years ago. It's quite possible that that part was simply tacked onto a much older myth, as well. Nik42 (talk) 03:43, 1 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi - I added the AI generated tag here regarding the changes by Sahelmohamedwiki, which across their contribs have shown many indicators of potential AI use and thus need review for accuracy, source-to-text integrity, tone, etc. Gnomingstuff (talk) 01:58, 30 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
