"A lot of people think this is the 'Eskimo Kiss,'" Nova said, demonstrating by rubbing noses with her mother.
She then stated that the "real Inuit kiss" is actually called "Kunik," which is typically done with a lot of emotion.
Nova's mother then grabbed her face, pressing her nose against Nova's cheek to demonstrate.
"The more love you have for a person the more stronger you that you do it," Nova said before pressing her nose against her mother's cheek multiple times.
As of October 5, the TikTok video had been viewed over 5.1 million times.
