Saying goodbye to Tokitae
The world lost Tokitae on Friday.
She was the last living Southern Resident Orca in captivity.
Organizers were trying to return her to the Salish Sea from Florida where she spent more than 50 years in the Miami Seaquarium.
Lummi Nation member Jay Julius is here along with Seattle Times reporter Lynda Mapes to talk about her life as part of the story of endangered Orcas.
