“Besides the wealth of knowledge that was provided, the biggest factor that made the Tribal Gaming and Hospitality Management program enjoyable for me were the connections made,” said Mike. “My classmates came from diverse tribes, such as Snoqualmie, Quinault, Cowlitz, Yakima, Spokane, and Skokomish.

On September 24, the Southern Resident Killer Whale Task Force released their draft report. This 45-person committee, which in- cludes representatives from tribes, and state and local agencies, was formed by Washington State Governor Jay Inslee in March 2018 to review threats and draft actions to help the di- minishing orca pods.

In preparing their report, the Task Force heard testimony and information from several ex- perts, including the Center for Whale Re- search, which has studied the Southern Resi- dent Killer Whale population for over four decades.

For example, Slapu stands 12 feet tall and has to appear as if she’s running down fleeing children.

“Slapu is just massive in size. She took the longest to envision and set-up, due to the fact that we really don’t want her fall- ing down in a strong wind. She’s the most well-known of the S’Klallam stories and the most domineering in size, so she was a massive undertaking,” shared Hannah.

The women also had to carefully choose the plant materials that would make up each structure.

Southern Resident Killer Whales Continued from page 5

Russell Hepfer, Vice Chairman of the Lower Elwha Tribe and Governor Inslee appointee to the Partnership Leadership Council, has been speaking about the plight of the Southern Resident Killer Whales and the special relationship between these creatures and tribes: “Most tribes call the orca ‘blackfish.’ Blackfish eat primarily Chinook. We tribes eat a lot of Chinook also. But if the Chinook dis- appear so do the blackfish.”
