Orca Chief  Cover Image Book Book

Orca Chief / Roy Henry Vickers and Robert Budd ; illustrated by Roy Henry Vickers.

Vickers, Roy Henry, 1946- (author.). Budd, Robert, 1976- (Added Author).

Summary:

"Thousands of years ago in the village of Kitkatla, four hunters leave home in the spring to harvest seaweed and sockeye. When they arrive at their fishing grounds, exhaustion makes them lazy and they throw their anchor overboard without care for the damage it might do the marine life or the sea floor. When Orca Chief discovers what the hunters have done, he sends his most powerful orca warriors to bring the men and their boat to his house. The men beg forgiveness for their ignorance and lack of respect, and Orca Chief compassionately sends them out with his pod to show them how to sustainably harvest the ocean's resources."--Provided by the publisher.
