In Inuit culture, Sedna is the goddess of the sea and marine life, believed to control all ocean creatures. Drumming is a key ritual used to communicate with Sedna, invoking her presence and asking for her favor, particularly for successful hunting. The rhythmic beats of the drum are seen as a way to connect the physical world with the spiritual realm, awakening Sedna from her undersea home. Through drumming, the Inuit show respect and gratitude to Sedna, seeking a bountiful harvest of sea animals. The drum’s vibrations are thought to reach Sedna and invite harmony with the natural world. This spiritual practice also symbolizes the balance between the Inuit and the sea, acknowledging their deep dependence on marine life. In essence, drumming is both a call for abundance and an expression of respect for the goddess.
