CW: ‘An incredible privilege and a daunting task’: Oregon tribe harvests beached whale for the first time in generations
“
This was the first time in generations that the Siletz tribe has harvested a whale …Before anyone cut into the animal, they smudged and prayed over its body. They honored the animal for its sacrifice.
…
The team took most of the whale’s blubber, thousands of pounds of it, as well as virtually all its bones.
