ARNAPKAPFAALUK
[noun]
the sea goddess of the Inuit people of Canada’s Coronation Gulf area. Although occupying the equivalent position to Sedna within Inuit mythology, in that she had control of the animals of the seas, she was noticeably different as can be seen by the English translation of her name, ‘big bad woman’. Whilst Sedna was perceived as a benign entity, Arnapkapfaaluk inspired fear in hunters. Rather than providing the Copper Inuit with seals and other marine mammals, she would withhold them. The breaking of a taboo or other indiscretions would result in an unsuccessful hunt.
