Inuit?
Elf of the Sun
All right, I have an Inuit one. Technically, from the Inuit of Greenland, less so Alaska, but Inuit nonetheless.
Elf of the Sun
This is the story of the sun and the moon, and how they came to be.
Elf of the Sun
So, there was in a village a brother and sister named Anningan and Malina, respectively. As children, they were very close, but as they grew older they lived in separate dwellings for men and women.
Elf of the Sun
As Anningan got to about the age to start thinking about getting married, he looked at all the women of the village, and realized Malina was the most beautiful of them all.
Elf of the Sun
...yeah, you guys can already tell where this is going, amirite?
Elf of the Sun
Smitten with her, late one night, when everyone was asleep, Anningan snuck into the women's quarters and forced himself on Malina. But it was so dark, she couldn't tell who her attacker was.

INCEST AGAIN YAY
Elf of the Sun
THE WONDERFUL PREDICTABILITY OF MYTHOLOGY.
Elf of the Sun
Well, Malina wasn't just going to take this lying down, so to speak, and she had a feeling that whoever it was would be coming back for more. So she came up with a plan.
Elf of the Sun
Sure enough, the next night, he returned. When he attacked again, she covered her hands with the soot from the lamps and smeared the man's face with it.
Tairanosaur
And my brain immediately goes "Why soot and not something that can be a weapon"
Elf of the Sun
Then, after he left and it seemed like everyone was asleep again, she took a lamp, climbed onto the roof of the men's quarters, and peered through the skylight to see who had a sooty face.
Elf of the Sun
Needless to say, she was pretty upset when she recognized her brother's face under the dirt.
Elf of the Sun
So, as payback, she sharpened her knife, cut off both her breasts, put them in a bowl and carried this to the men's lodge.
Elf of the Sun
She presented the bowl to her brother, saying "If you enjoy me so much, then eat these," and ran away out the door, grabbing a torch as she went.
Elf of the Sun
He chased after her, likewise taking a torch, and was able to easily follow her path, as her footsteps were marked with great pools of blood from her wounds.
Elf of the Sun
But, along the way, he tripped and fell and dropped his torch so the flame went out, but it still glowed faintly as an ember.
Elf of the Sun
Anningan was catching up to Malina, so she ran as hard and fast as she could up into the sky, her torch burning brightly enough that she became the sun.
Elf of the Sun
He followed her, and with his dimmed torch, became the moon. But their chase was never-ending. And sometimes, he'd forget to eat along the way, becoming thinner and thinner.
Elf of the Sun
But, for a few days every month, the moon disappears while he gets food and then starts to fatten up again.
Elf of the Sun
Meanwhile, back in the village, a warrior named Tulok heard about the incest, and decided he was going to Do Something About It.
Elf of the Sun
See, he'd never liked Anningan, and they had been fierce rivals.
Elf of the Sun
Now, during the chase, Malina had laid down her torch at one point to rest, and Anningan had found it, making him the sun, while Malina took the dimmed one and kept running from her brother.
Elf of the Sun
Tulok realized this and decided, ever so brilliantly, that he was going to FIGHT THE SUN!
Elf of the Sun
So, he devised a plan to run so fast he could reach into the sky and pour a bucket of mythical water over the sun to put out its flames.
Elf of the Sun
THAT'D SURE TEACH HIM.
Elf of the Sun
Meanwhile, having been the sun for a while before, Malina realized how important the sun had become to the people below, and overhearing Tulok's plan, realized how devastating it would be.
Elf of the Sun
So, for the good of the people, Malina as the moon decided she would help her brother and keep the sun-torch from going out.
Elf of the Sun
So, as Tulok raced to confront Anningan, Malina stopped running away. As Tulok challenged her brother, Malina came close and became an eclipse, trapping Tulok between her and her brother.
Elf of the Sun
This probably didn't involve a threesome, but caught between the heat of the siblings, Tulok also began to grow hot and glow until he exploded into thousands of pieces and became the stars.
Elf of the Sun
Meanwhile, Malina stole her sun-torch back, leaving Anningan with the moon-torch, and their chase resumed once more.
Elf of the Sun
THE END.

...to get revenge, she cut off her own breasts and gave them to him to eat.

Malina's definition of 'revenge' needs work.
Elf of the Sun
