Sedna
Sedna dwells with her companion Qailertetang at the bottom of the sea in the company of seals, whales, and other sea creatures. Before hunts, she, along with Qailertetang, are served by shamans on behalf of the rest of the tribe in rituals designed to ensure success in said hunts as coastal Inuit groups' diets mostly consist of sea animals.
