Blue Cove Days

ALT Sk’aliCh’elh-tenaut (#Tokitae/#Lolita) has spent almost 51 years in this tank (known to be the smallest and oldest orca tank in all of North America). She has not met with another orca since 1980. Every day, she is forced to perform to get her food. Her mother is still alive and live free in the Salish Sea (Washington State). Please, help them be reunited by signing and sharing this petition: https://bit.ly/2TmrQbV Sk’aliCh’elh-tenaut is a sacred relative of the Lummi people. Bringing her home will help heal her, her mother, her family, the Lhaq’temish people, and the Salish Sea. Bringing Sk’aliCh’elh-tenaut home is a way to recognize and uphold Indigenous rights. Sk’aliCh’elh-tenaut was captured in 1970, when Western science knew little about orcas. Today we know that captivity is bad for them, and that captive orcas can be rehabilitated to live in natural environments. When you know better, you do better. It's time for #MiamiSeaquarium to do the right thing. Let her come home!
