Hmmm. "If you don't behave, we'll give you to the Orcas..." sounds like the kind of thing some pissed off parents would tell their kids.

"Sedna is a giant, the daughter of the creator-god Anguta, with a great hunger that causes her to attack her parents. Angered, Anguta takes her out to sea and throws her over the side of his kayak. As she clings to the sides, he chops off her fingers and she sinks to the underworld, becoming the ruler of the monsters of the deep. Her huge fingers become the seals, walruses, and whales hunted by the Inuit." — https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sedna_(mythology)
