All Our Relations: Tribute to the Orca is a moving 7-minute film drawing on footage from an Indigenous-centered public event during Orca Action Month, June 2024 at the Seattle Aquarium as well as other interviews. It delivers powerful voices of regional Indigenous leaders delivering somber and urgent narratives. Tribute to the Orca highlights Indigenous communities' ancient kinship with orcas and salmon, and the importance of reciprocity in our relationship with our caretaker: Mother Nature. A special focus is on the Southern Resident orcas whose survival, like the survival of Indigenous lifeways here in the Pacific Northwest, depends on scha’enexw (the Salmon People). The event and film are a project of Se’Si’Le, an Indigenous-led nonprofit organization based in Bellingham, WA in collaboration with Salish Sea and Northern Straits Native Nations, Save our Wild Salmon and Washington Conservation Action.

Kuwarddewardde – the rock country – is home to the Bininj Nawarddeken, people who have always inhabited a remote corner of what is known today as Arnhem Land, Northern Territory, Australia. For millennia, they looked after the rock country, taking care of it for their ancestors and their children. Fire was one of their main tools and Bininj Nawarddeken actively burned areas of the savanna grasslands woodlands and rainforests to protect them from large, devastating wildfires. But in the late 18th century, British colonialization disrupted the Bininj Nawarddeken’s connection to the land and their traditional use of fire. The result was the spread of massive wildfires that decimated pristine ecosystems.

The number of anti-Semitic incidents in Germany has increased significantly since the massacre by the Palestinian terrorist organization Hamas in Israel on October 7, 2023. Jews are insulted, defamed, berated and attacked not only on the street, but also at universities and in the cultural sector. The anti-Semitic riots at the Free University of Berlin on December 14, 2023 and the completely inconsistent reactions to them from those responsible and politicians are representative of this. Jewish students in Germany have to fear for their lives again. Left-wing groups demand solidarity with Palestine, question Israel's right to exist, but completely ignore the Hamas massacres and, in their view of the Jews, rely on a simple worldview shaped by ancient prejudices and narratives.
