Sedna is the Inuit Creatrix who sustains all life. She swims in the ocean and is the guardian of all who worship her. In the beginning, Sedna was a beautiful woman, but was not happy with the many men who tried to woo her. Called by a seagull with hopes of plenty of food and servants, she followed them and lived with the bird spirits. But promises of plenty were replaced with filth and squalor. When her father visited, she begged him help her return home with him across the waters. She was pursued and to save his life, her father threw Sedna overboard. As she tried to climb back into the boat, he cut off her fingers which transformed into fish and sea mammals, filling the oceans with abundant life.
