Sedna

In Inuit culture, Sedna is the powerful Goddess of the Sea and Marine Animals, one of the most important figures in Inuit mythology. She rules over all creatures of the ocean — seals, whales, walruses, and fish — and determines whether hunters will find success. Sedna’s story reflects themes of creation, balance, and respect for nature: when humans fail to show gratitude or harmony with the natural world, she withholds the animals, reminding people of their dependence on the sea. Her legend teaches respect, humility, and the sacred connection between humans and the environment.
