Seal

SEAL

Inuit legends often feature seals as creatures of deep significance, sometimes embodying transformations, powerful beings, or even providing sustenance. One prominent figure is Sedna, the sea goddess who created the first sea mammals from her fingers after being sacrificed to the sea. Another important figure is Kiviuq, an epic hero who can impersonate a seal and embarks on adventures, interacting with mythical and supernatural beings. Furthermore, seals are seen as a source of food and warmth for the Inuit, and their legends reflect this vital connection.
