The orca Tokitae, known to the Lummi nation as Sk’aliCh’elh’tenaut, died Friday around 1 p.m. Pacific time, according to the Miami Seaquarium.
The Miami Seaquarium said in a Facebook post that Tokitae began "exhibiting serious signs of discomfort" over the past two days. Tokitae received treatment from her medical team but died Friday afternoon due to what is believed to be a renal condition.
Tokitae has lived at the Miami Seaquarium for the last 53 years after being captured in Puget Sound in August 1970. The Lummi Nation, activists and animal welfare advocates had been fighting for years to bring her home.
