Please join us on June 14 for A Majestic Matriarchy: Honoring the Southern Resident Orcas at St. Joseph Parish in Seattle! Join us to listen, learn, and be inspired by the heartfelt words, visions, and voices of Indigenous women leaders from around the Northwest. There will be a Netse Mot: A Gathering Meal from 5:00 - 6:30 pm, and the program begins at 6:30 pm. A Majestic Matriarchy is presented by Se’Si’Le, an Indigenous-led nonprofit in Washington State, and is supported by Save Our wild Salmon and a coalition of NGOs and faith-based partners.
Building on the success of Tribute to the Orca last June, this year’s event will feature a powerful lineup of Indigenous women who will bring attention to the plight and importance of the Southern Resident orcas. Many Native people have a deep affinity with the matriarchal lifeway of the majestic Southern Resident relatives who rely on the older females for stability, especially in times of crisis. A grave crisis is now upon them, and their existence is imperiled.
Tickets are available on a sliding scale basis. Indigenous People are welcome to attend free-of charge. Space is limited so be sure to reserve your tickets. Learn more and reserve your tickets here.
SOS is excited to support this special event and we hope to see you there!
