Sedna was a beautiful maiden who wouldn't marry any hunters who came by. Her father and her had no food. One day a hunter came and said he was looking for a wife. If he could have Sedna he would give her father fish. Sedna's father agreed and he gave the hunter who was really a birdman his daughter and in return the birdman gave Sedna's father fish that were rotten. Sedna's father put Sedna to sleep using a sleeping potion before the Birdman took Sedna. The birdman took Sedna to a big nest on a cliff. When she woke up she found birds everywhere looking at her. Her father had an instinct telling him to go take his daughter back. When her father tried to rescue her, the spirit became angry and caused a terrible storm which threatened the very survival of her people. In desperation, Sedna's father threw her into the raging sea. She tried to hold on to the boat but her hands got so cold her fingers fell off one by one and became sea creatures. She fell to the bottom of the sea and grew a fish tail.
