LOCATION

The gathering takes places in front of the great Salish Sea iron sculpture by Salish artist Chris Paul.

The Salish Sea Iron Sculpture

This location is part of the site of the ancient seaport of Sitchanalth.

It was also the location of Sealand where humans first realized that keeping ORCAs in captivity was inconsistent with the emerging human spirit.

 

BRING LOLITA HOME

As the World Spotlight is on Canada we are happy to do our little bit to also share this attention with “Tokitae/Lolita” and the “Bring Lolita Home” movement who are campaigning this month to bring Lolita home to Friday Harbour from a pen in Miami.
