Hematite Anklet with Mother of Pearl Dolphins
The native Inuit
peoples of the Arctic, who have depended on hunting small
numbers of sea mammals for generations, also attribute
whales and dolphins with divine creation. Their legends
tell of a young girl named Sedna, who refused to every
marry a man and rejected all her lovers. She then fell in
love with a dog and married him instead. Enraged, all of
Sedna's rejected men took the girl aboard a boat and
pushed her into the sea. Sedna grasped the edge of the
boat in an effort to stop herself from falling into the
freezing waters, but the cruel men chopped off all her
fingers. Her severed fingers fell into the sea, and turned
into the world's first whales, dolphins, seals and
walruses. Sedna is now the reigning goddess of the sea,
and if she becomes enraged, she will shut away all the
sea-beasts so man is unable to hunt.
Whatever their origins, there is something undeniably
special and unique about whales and dolphins. Most people
find the appeal of these animals hard to put into words.
Some say it is the beautiful appearance of whales and
dolphins that attracts them - their graceful bodies,
effortless movement, almost human eyes and, in many
species, a permanent "smile" as cryptic as the
expression of the Mona Lisa. For others, it is the
apparent intelligence of dolphins that is so appealing;
many claim that you need only look into a dolphin's eyes
to recognise the spark of intellect.
