　　When they arrived at the island, Sedna looked around and could see nothing except bare rock with a kind of nest made from seaweed, animal hair and feathers. She looked at her husband, shocked. Then she discovered, as he pulled the furs away from his face, that he was not a man, but a sea bird. No matter how angry she felt, she had no choice but to stay with him.

　　Time went by, but Sedna never became used to the bird man. She felt very unhappy in the relationship and spent her days crying and calling her father's name. In the meantime her father began to feel guilty about forcing his daughter to marry against her will. So as soon as her cries reached her father, he decided to go in search of her.

He asked his daughter for forgiveness and helped her into the canoe. They set off for home.
