Spirits of the Deep

Inspired by true events. The Makah Tribe of the Olympic Peninsula have a rich and spiritual history of whale hunting.

Chief Atohi and his wife Nitika prepare for the hunt. She meditates and calls upon the whale. When she has the whale in her mind, Chief Atohi takes a group of hunters to the beautiful pacific shore and embarks in canoes.
