“Sedna and the Shaman” belt buckle created by renowned Chugach Sugpiaq artist Denise Wallace. 

This belt buckle is a stunning tribute to the Inuit sea goddess. Its intricate design and high-quality materials make it a must-have accessory for any admirer of Inuit folklore and art.

The Inuit myth of Sedna and the shaman narrates the story of Sedna, a woman betrayed and cast into the sea by her father. Transforming into the powerful goddess of the ocean and mother of all sea creatures, Sedna holds control over marine life. When angered, her tangled hair traps sea animals, bringing famine to the Inuit people. To restore harmony between humans and nature, an Inuit shaman, or angakkuq, embarks on a spiritual journey to Sedna’s underwater realm to comb her hair, release the creatures, and renew balance.
