Sedna

There was a girl named Sedna that lived on the shore of a lonely land and was single. Every guy that asked her father for hand in marriage she declined. One day a sea bird came to Sedna and sang to her to come live with him and marry him, she was excited and left with him in the kayak, when she got to his village it wasn't anything he said it was going to be and she lived in misery. Until, one day her father came to her rescue after winter, he killed the seabird and left to return home with her daughter. The friends of the sea bird made waves around the kayak because they were anger their friend was dead. Sedans father pushed her overboard and cut her fingertips, and fingers off to save his own life. The skin, bone and fingernail turned into sea creatures including bearded ground seals, walruses, whales, whalebone, ringed seals. When her fingers created life this would be under the category of a creation myth. After the birds left thinking Sedna died, her father pulled her inboard and returned home, Sedna got revenge by having dogs eat his hands and feet off, her father put a curse on them, and their home fell into the underworld where Sedna ruled the underworld.
