a pause as she waited for them to attend. "this singing is about a man who hunts a seal but almost falls beneath the sea. the seal brings him home and he agrees to hunt no seal again."

she lifted one paw and then the other, demonstrating a back and forth motion meant to imitate swimming.

her words would be hard for them to say; she spoke slowly for this reason:

"i am a young man and i am strong."

my arms are strong. my teeth are sharp.

she showed the flex of her shoulders and the flash of her teeth to those watching.

"i will go into the ocean. i will bring back brother seal."

a dancing step to the left.

"bring him back! bring him back! bring him back!"

a singsong chant. her eyes were bright with it.

"i go into the water. but she is cold! mother sedna! help me!"

another of the movements, to show the swimming. she laughed.

"brother seal is coming! he has found the hunter!

brother human, you are not made for the sea. i will take you home."

she sang the song once more with her inflections and expressions, slowing it for the moonspear wolves.
