I would come back as an Inuit.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inuit
"The Inuit people inhabit the land stretching from southeast Alaska to
Greenland, an environment that heavily influenced a mythology filled
with adventure tales of whale and walrus hunts. Long winter months of
waiting for caribou herds or sitting near breathing holes hunting
seals gave birth to stories of mysterious and sudden appearance of
ghosts and fantastic creatures. Some Inuit looked into the aurora
borealis, or northern lights, to find images of their family and
friends dancing in the next life, and they relied upon the angakkuq
(shaman), while the nearest thing to a central deity was the Old Woman
(Sedna), who lived beneath the sea. The waters, a central food source,
were believed to contain great gods.
