Nuliajuk is a goddess of the Netsilik Inuit. According to Rasmussen Nuliajuk lives on the bottom of the sea and controls sea mammals. Whenever humans neglect to observe ritual prohibitions, she imprisons the sea-mammals within the drip-basin under her lamp, so that shamans must conjure her so as to release them. Nuliajuk is co-wife with Isarraitaitsoq; their husband is the scorpionfish god Kanajuk. They have an adopted baby, which they stole "from a sleeping mother when her husband was out hunting at the breathing holes".
