Tribute to the Orca is out now! Watch here: https://vimeo.com/1026658303

Earlier this year during Orca Action Month, Se’Si’Le, an Indigenous-led nonprofit organization based in the Bellingham area collaborated with Salish Sea and Northern Straits Native Nations and NGOs to host an Indigenous-centered event in June at the Seattle Aquarium.

We’re excited to share this moving short film highlighting this event and additional interviews. Tribute to the Orca shares Indigenous communities' ancient kinship with orcas and salmon, and the importance of reciprocity in our relationship with our caretaker: Mother Nature. You’ll hear powerful Indigenous voices delivering somber and urgent narratives and learn about the Southern Resident orcas whose survival, like the survival of Indigenous lifeways here in the Pacific Northwest, depends on scha’enexw (the Salmon People).
