If you could speak with the Orcas, what would you ask them?

What would you share?

Today on Of Cedar And Salmon, we take a deeper dive into our first story of Season 2, the Legend of Weekphachawa.

This foundational story of the Coastal Peoples of the Pacific Northwest delves into kinship, identity, balance, and our unbreakable connection to the natural world.

From the First Nation's naming traditions, where monikers are less fixed labels and more markers earned throughout life...

To the unpredictable nature of the ocean as both provider and threshold between worlds...

To mankind's ancient spiritual kinship with the Sea Wolf Clan, Weekphachawa's journey serves not just as a story, but as a living lesson.

One that still endures to this day, in the form of sacred secret traditions performed along the Pacific Northwest's misty shoreline.

What special names have shaped your life so far?

Perfect for listeners who love: Indigenous stories, folklore, mythology, and cultural storytelling podcasts.
