Workshop
Nikki Sanchez is an award winning author of Spirits of the Coast- an anthology of the coastal resident orca whale. Through the lens and lesson of the Orca whale she shares her insights on the multitude of ways the process of colonization irrevocably changed the lives of both the Coastal Resident Orcas and Indigenous peoples of the coast. Over a hundred years later, we are still experiencing those impacts and developing emergent strategies to survive and thrive. Nikki shares the lessons learned from looking at the story of colonization from the Orcas perspective.
