A long time ago, the people of Greenland believed in the Mother of the Sea. She lived on the bottom of the sea and ruled over all that lived in the ocean. From her home on the bottom she sent out seals, whales, fish and birds of the sea, up to the surface so that hunters could catch them. However, if the people didn't behave well, she became angry and hid the animals from the hunters. The people would then have to send a Shaman down to visit her in order to cleanse and comb her hair which had become dirty and tangled because of what the humans had done wrong. A traditional Greenlandic tale, narrated for children and illustrated by one of Greenland's greatest artists.
