Excerpt from the Wikipedia article
Nalujuk Night is a festival marked by Inuit communities in Nunatsiavut on 6 January to commemorate the end of Christmas. Believed to derive from a combination of Inuit religious traditions and Christianity brought to the area by Moravians in the 18th century, older members of communities dress up as Nalujuit, beings that emerge from the sea ice to reward good behaviour and punish bad behaviour.
