Hundreds gathered Sunday at Jackson Beach Park to celebrate the life of Tokitae, aka Sk’aliCh’elh-tenaut, the last Orca whale taken from the Salish Sea and placed into captivity back in the 1970s. The event was originally going to be an installation ceremony to recognize a new Totem Story Pole, but it became so much more following the recent death of the famous whale.
