The story of the Alaskan Inuit goddess Sedna satisfies the supernatural descriptive purpose of belief systems because her story expands on the origin of seals. In the version of the legend, she is disappointed with the men found for her by her father and so marries a dog. Her father is so mad and even throw her into the sea and when she tries to climb back into the boat her father cuts off her fingers. The fingers of Sedna become the first seals and she became a mighty sea goddess.
