Sedna

The daughter of the creator God displeases her father who throws her out of the kayak and cuts off her fingers when she tries to climb back in. She sinks to the bottom, grows a tail and rules the deep. Her fingers become seals and walruses, and she is a vengeful mermaid whose hair must be combed when she is angry (by shaman) so that she will release the animals for the hunt..
