Anguta ("man with something to cut") put his daughter in his kayak to bring her back to the human world.
Anguta cut them off, shoving his oar into Sedna's eye before she sank into the icy water.
Anguta himself lived there too; some versions of the myth say that, hoping the seabirds would think Sedna dead, he allowed her back into the kayak and returned home.
According to myth, Sedna was the daughter of the creator-god Anguta and his wife.
She sank to the underworld, becoming the queen of the monsters of the deep, and her huge fingers became the seals, sea-lions and whales hunted by the Inuit.
Anguta - "man with something to cut" - put his daughter in his kayak to bring her back to the human world.
