 | | Sedna is the most important deity to the Inuit and plays a vital role in one creation tale, what with her parents chopping off her fingers and those fingers turning into various aquatic animals. | | | Sedna isn't actually a creator goddess -- she was born mortal, and became a goddess when the spirits of the air and the moon decided to reward her for her suffering in her mortal life, as she was drowning. | | | Two accounts of the Sedna myth may be found here [hvgb.net] and here [inuitgallery.com]. |

| | SONG OF SEDNA, by Robert San Souci |
| | She proceeds to do so, which pleases a nonexistent deity of justice, made up by the San Souci brothers as "the most powerful being of all," and the brothers end with an alleged joyful song of Sedna which is actually a hunter's song. | | | This Sedna is, to be sure, flung overboard by her father when she has fled a husband that she learns is a powerful (and presumably malignant) spirit, who sends a storm after their umiak, as they are fleeing him. | | | Sedna has dreams of romantic love -- why she refuses local suitors and settles on a handsome drop-in who fits these dreams. |

| | Quaoar is estimated to have a diameter of about 1,200 kilometres, which at the time of discovery made it the largest object found in the solar system since Pluto and, indeed, the largest known minor planet (although the newly discovered (2003 VB12) Sedna and 2004 DW may turn out to be bigger). | | | "Quaoar" is the name of a creation deity of the Native American Tongva people, native to the area around Los Angeles, where the discovery was named. | | | The discovery weakens Pluto's case to be classed as a planet, since astronomers expect that there may be as many as a dozen Kuiper Belt objects the size of Quaoar. |
