From Greenland to Alaska, according to Inuit legend, Sedna is the goddess of the sea, the mother of all marine mammals. Dependant on region, her story varies, however it is unanimously known that Sedna holds all of the sea animals entangled in her hair, and will only release them when she is appeased by offerings, songs or a visit from an angakok (shaman), who combs the tangles from her hair or tuffs of tuktu (caribou) from her ears.
