Video taken from shore along the west side of San Juan Island May 24, 2009. Watching J-14 with her three youngest - Baby J-45, 4 yr. old J-40 and 8 yr old J-37. It looks as if they are having some lessons.
They went back and forth for about 20 minutes, offshore, near Lime Kiln Lighthouse before continuing on.

  • You asked if "it's always the Samish Nation who decide all of the orcas' names?" NO, they only decide on the names for the offspring of the J-14 because her name is Samish. I hope that makes it a bit more clear. thanks.

  • Thank you very much for the informations !

    It's a cute name and it suits him although it seems strange at the first view =) It's always the Samish Nation who decide of all the orcas' names ? Thank you for all your answers !

  • Se-Yi-Chn is a Coast Salish/Samish language name meaning 'younger one.' The name was selected by the Samish Indian Nation and given to J-45.  The Samish Indian Nation is one of the tribes of the Coast Salish peoples who have lived in the Pacific Northwest for a long long time.

  • I've just checked out your blog and I love it !

    I envy you for having participated to the Naming Ceremony ^^ I've read on your blog that J45 had been named Se-Yi-Chn.. Where does this name comes from ?

  • Hi fmorques, you may want to check out my blog, if you don't already. I post pictures and stories about the whales. and last weekend I participated in the Samish Nation Naming Ceremony for J-45.
