MORE The Southern Residents Killer Whale diet, range, social behavior, kinship and linguistic system are distinct from other killer whale populations in the Pacific Northwest. In the North Pacific, in addition to the Southern Resident Killer Whale community, there is a Northern Resident community (Northern B.C.), a Transient community, and an Offshore killer whale community. Pods from one community have never been observed traveling with those from another community, although their ranges partly overlap. The call dialects of the four communities are also distinct. The Northern Resident community, which is found primarily in the Johnstone Strait area of British Columbia, and northern British Columbia, is made up of about 220 whales in 16 pods. The Northern and Southern Residents are fully described in the book Killer Whales by Ford, Ellis, and Balcomb (UBC/UW Press, 2000). Another community of killer whales, called Transients, can be found in small groups from Mexico to the Bering Sea. They often appear in the Salish Sea and around Vancouver Island. Transients are characterized by a diet of marine mammals, especially seals, sea lions, and porpoises. There are over 250 transients, but they tend to travel in small groups of one to five individuals, staying close to shorelines, often near seal rookeries when pups are being weaned. In 1991, another community, called Offshores, was discovered. These whales may be the ancestral population of the Northern and/or Southern Residents. They are most often seen 15 to 25 miles out at sea, off Vancouver Island and Haida Gwaii (formerly Queen Charlotte Islands), though members of this community have been seen from southern Transient killer whales California to the Bering Sea.

  • Nlakapmux Grandmothers' Traditional Teachings and Learnings By
    Nlakapmux Grandmothers’ Traditional Teachings and Learnings by Beatrice Marie Anderson B.I.S.W., The Nicola Valley Institute Technology and The University of Regina, 1992 M.S.W., The University British Columbia, 1993 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF EDUCATION in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES (Educational Leadership and Policy) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) December 2011 © Beatrice Marie Anderson, 2011 Abstract Nchwa’ squest. My name is Beatrice Tiila Marie Anderson. I am Nlakapmux, a social worker, educator, mother, wife, Grandmother, and great Grandmother. Not all learning in Indigenous communities is attained through formal institutional settings. Much of our important learning comes from Indigenous Knowledge (IK) passed on through family and social contexts. This research examines, documents, and contributes to knowledge about how generations of Indigenous Nlakapmux Grandmothers from the Interior of British Columbia carried out their responsibilities to transmit Nlakapmux educational and socio-cultural knowledge to their family and community members. Grandmothers are a critical part of the family’s social learning environment. This knowledge is important to understand because traditional family pedagogies were and continue to be at the heart of how Nlakapmux children learn and how Nlakapmux knowledge and values are transmitted and sustained. The process of colonization lessened this important approach to Indigenous intergenerational learning. A Nlakapmux Grandmother’s Methodology was developed that includes a Spilahem story of my life history; an analysis of historical and contemporary literature about the Nlakapmux people; and interviews and circle talks with 11 Nlakapmux Grandmothers. The Nlakapmuxcin Indigenous language, wholistic Plains Medicine Wheel, and metaphor of the Nlakapmux cedar root basket making were used to analyze and make meaning of the Grandmothers’ stories.

  • Orca Fact Sheet Background/Information
    Orca fact sheet background/information What is an orca? Orcas, or killer whales, are the largest member of the dolphin family. They are a top predator in all the oceans of the world. Orcas (Orcinus orca) are well known for their strong family ties and often live together in family groups called pods. They are noted for their strength, beauty and intelligence. Orca facts The large fin on an orca’s back makes it easy to spot Who is that orca? them. Adult male orcas may be 30 feet long and have a dorsal fin up to 6 feet tall. Female orcas reach a length Each orca has a light-colored saddle patch on their of 25 feet and have smaller dorsal fins. Orcas weigh from backs next to the base of their dorsal fin.

  • Southern Resident Orcas' Connection to the Cascades
    Southern Resident Orcas’ Connection to the Cascades Photo by Elaine Thompson 2015, retrieved from the Bellingham Herald ENVS 583: Natural History and Science of the North Cascades Western Washington University North Cascades Institute Spring 2017 Rachael Grasso Why Orcas Growing up, I have always been fascinated with whales. Orca, humpback, sperm, blue, narwhal... you name it! I have quite the collection of whale books on my shelves, some whale toys and other relics. I even have a large tattoo of a humpback whale. But when I moved out to the North Cascades for graduate school, I hadn’t realized I was moving toward these majestic creatures and my first wild orca encounter, potentially opening up a door for future research and educational work with marine life. In January, I attended the Storming the Sound conference in La Conner, Washington. It was a small regional event with a strong marine theme, located on the shore of the Salish Sea. It blew my mind to think that I had driven less than two hours down the Skagit Valley, just below the Cascade crest, and I was now in a completely different ecosystem, yet still connected to the rugged, steep mountains. The last session of the conference was Howard Garrett, co-founder of Orca Network, presenting on the Southern Resident orcas and their intertwined fate with Chinook salmon. I sat engaged, listening to Howard speak about his lifetime of research on the orcas and how it is so close geographically to me. I was emotionally compelled by his presentation and taken aback by the current status of the Southern Resident population.

Bennett Redmond, B.A. Fairbanks, Alaska May 2013 iii Abstract This study examines the practices of the Alaska Family Health & Birth Center in order to understand how midwives help clients navigate the process of pregnancy, birth, and the postpartum period with a high rate of success, as defined by a low cesarean rate, low mortality and morbidity, and high maternal satisfaction. How do the midwives prepare mothers to navigate the transformation and how do they address failure to progress during birth? This study analyzes birth as a rite of passage, which incorporates a culture’s worldview and its practices. These outcomes are achieved by employing a positive, holistic view of the natural, physiological process, by using practices that support the physiological process and minimize intervention, and by keeping the space in which out-of hospital birth takes place. The fact that parents are choosing an alternative ritual for birth at an increasing rate nationwide reflects a change happening in American culture.
