Today, on Good Medicine with Squil‑le‑he‑le Raynell Morris…

We’re learning about the sacred journey of Sk’aliCh’elh‑tenaut and the powerful intersection of healing, ceremony, and environmental justice.

In our soul-stirring conversation, we explore Resident Orca, the documentary tracing efforts to free Sk’aliCh’elh‑tenaut from the Miami Seaquarium and return her to the Salish Sea. Lummi Nation matriarch Raynell Morris shares how culture, ceremony, and community became a powerful current for change. We hear how the orca’s decades-long captivity mirrored a deeper trauma within Indigenous communities—and how song, prayer, and solidarity carried the hope for her homecoming.

This is a story of love, loss, and intergenerational healing. It’s a reminder that when we stand for the whales, we stand for our own future—and that our voices, like the orca’s song, are medicine .
