Port Graham Elders Village Tea June 2005
In the Mush Building,Elders speak in Sugt'stun together. They talk about the different colors (of berries?) how they eat them and ways that they could be used for medicinal purposes; They talk about eating sea urchins and cooking with their mothers. A younger woman asks about stories of shapeshifting or powerful sea animals; They talk about how when killer whales (orcas) enter the bay it means that somebody is going to die, including personal anecdotes about someone who died after the killer whales came into the bay. They specifically talk about the eyes of an orca and the power of an orca watching a person.
