ISITOQ – This god was depicted as a giant winged eye, constantly flying through the sky and observing every violation of a taboo that took place and reporting his findings to Sila. This was similar to the way Kataum would observe taboo violations for Sedna but Isitoq does not seem to have played the same sentinel role that Kataum did for Sedna’s dwelling. Think of Isitoq as a celestial snitch.
