Origin & cultural context
Inuit · northeastern Canadian contexts
Sedna is a widely used name for a sea-being in Inuit accounts; names, narratives and portrayals vary regionally, with no single definitive iconography. This introduction uses northeastern Canadian scholarship, not a pan-Arctic version. It does not attribute Sedna to distinct Iñupiat, Yup’ik or Unangax traditions.
Not all figures here are benevolent guardians. Sacred beings, tricksters and complex myths are presented for cultural learning, not as interchangeable mascots. No ceremonial authority, restricted rites or supernatural guarantees are claimed.
