| American Cetacean Society Culture of Whales - Oct. 2002 Speakers |
The following is an excerpt from the October 2002 conference program
MICAH McCARTY Makah Artist, and Family historian in training, Micah McCarty is my government Name. Kla-ow-us "One who is waiting" is my birth Name, meaning that I am to be groomed for a hereditary seat in an ancient house. Born on the Winter solstice and schooled in some of the worlds universal truths, I was born on a sacred day for Nuu-Chah-Nulth traditionalists. ABSTRACT WHALES IN NORTHWEST NATIVE CULTURE... I will share my understanding of West coast culture from a Hunting society, edified by time honored commemoration of spiritual awareness and our society's affinity with the most efficient predators of both land and sea, the wolf and the killer whale. |
