You’re invited to the All Our Relations: Tribute to the Orca - an evening centered around raising up Indigenous voices and re-imagining our relationship with Nature. Indigenous leaders will explore several interwoven issues to increase awareness of their ancient kinship with the orca, the salmon, and their heritage of honoring our caretaker: Mother Nature. The evening will have a special focus on the Southern Resident orcas whose survival, like the survival of Indigenous lifeways, depends on scha’enexw (the Salmon People). Science can only take us so far in the journey of restoring what is being lost. Gather with us as we honor Indigenous ancestral knowledge, ceremonies, the sacred obligation to past and future generations, and our ancient covenant with all our and in the waters.
