Puget Sound Day on the Hill, Washington, D.C.

Puget Sound Day on the Hill is happening right now, this week! From April 25 to May 2, a large group from Washington State is once again gathering in Washington, D.C. to meet with key decision-makers in Congress to talk about the benefits of a healthy Puget Sound brings to the entire nation.

“I'm grateful to represent Washington Conservation Action, and join dozens of people from our region to speak up for Puget Sound recovery. We'll meet with Members of Congress from across the country, because we all care about CleanWater and HealthyHabitat - bipartisan issues that unite people . Thank you to Puget Sound Partnership and Northwest Treaty Tribes for your leadership in a rapidly evolving federal landscape.” reports Mindy Roberts, Puget Sound Program Director at Washington Conservation Action.

Watch: All Our Relations: Tribute to the Orca

Tribute to the Orca is out now! 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).

We invite you to watch this 7-minute film, All Our Relations: Tribute to the Orca.
