Sedna’s story
Sedna was a beautiful woman who was not keen on marriage. However, she had many interested suitors, and her father was especially interested in one rich man who promised he would give her a wonderful life on his faraway island. However, it turned out he lied, and he was an evil bird-spirit, and Sedna lived in horrible conditions, he was abusive to her and kept her hostage, unable to return to her family.
When her father heard what was happening, he went to rescue her in his small boat to bring her home. As they tried to escape, her husband came after them in the form of a bird and flapped his huge wings to cause waves that shook the boat, terrifying both father and daughter. And when Sedna refused to return to him, her father, frightened by the storm, frantically pushed her off of the boat, as Sedna hung on, clutching the side of the boat in the dark, cold and salty sea, her faithful dog jumped into the water after her and her father took his knife, and chopped off her fingers. As soon as he did so, and Sedna fell away from the boat and into the icy waters, the sea grew calm. As Sedna sank to the bottom of the Ocean, the trail of blood soon began to become sea animals, fish, seals, and walruses, even Sedna herself turned into a mermaid. She lives in the depths of the Ocean with her dog, and some say, with her father too.

Life, beauty and sustenance poured out from her wounds in the form of all of the marine animals. She became a Goddess and a mermaid, a creatrix. The Inuit count on Sedna for all their needs, and when things are challenging, they ask for help frpm the Angakok (a shaman in Inuit society) who will enter into a trance to travel to the bottom of the Ocean and meet with the Goddess herself. The Angakok will comb Sedna’s hair, braiding it with tender loving care to soothe her anger, which results from the pain she still carries in her heart, and she allows for peace in the community, and for her animals to make themselves available to the hunters to provide for all.
