'The one on high' is Pinga, the Eskimo goddess of game, the hunt, helper of medicine, men and the living.

 

Pinga is also the Psychopomp (from the Greek word psuchopompos, literally meaning the "guide of souls"). She brings the souls of the recently deceased to (Adlivun), the transit area where souls are purified before moving on...

 

Pinga in Inuit folklore also watches over humans' treatment of animals.
