   Orca Network posted this a little over two hours ago to Facebook:   
      
   "With heavy hearts and tears in our eyes Orca Network shares and confirms the   
   news that Tokitae/ Sk'aliCh'elh-tenaut/Lolita, passed away today at the Miami   
   Seaquarium around 4 pm Eastern Time, surrounded by her loving care team and   
   veterinarians, who did everything they could to save her after a very short   
   illness. She developed a gastrointestinal issue two days ago for which she   
   was receiving treatment, and then today suddenly developed acute renal   
   failure and could not besaved despite the best efforts of the veterinary   
   team. More information will be available in the coming days. For now, we ask   
   for everyone's prayers and respect, while our Orca Network pod grieves for   
   this huge loss.   
      
   One thing that brings us comfort is knowing that yesterday, as Toki began   
   struggling and was on her journey home to the next world, her entire family   
   was off the west side of San Juan Island in what these days is a rare   
   gathering, with all three pods swimming up and down the island, socializing   
   in a Superpod; and the L12s are still there today. This is often a   
   cultural/social ritual to mark a significant event in their community, and we   
   believe they were welcoming her home.   
      
   Toki is finally home, maybe not the way we wanted, but her family seems to   
   know she is with them once again, in ways we may never comprehend.   
      
   A vigil in Tokitae’s memory will take place at the Langley Whale Center,   
   105 Anthes Avenue, Langley, WA, on Saturday, August 19, from 6-8pm.”   
      
   Me again:   
      
   I have failed Tokitae, in that my new age onset magickal workings have not   
   worked yet. I just did my blessing on the dead on her. I then facilitated   
   (she had to agree) a soul alignment between her and the Vancouver Canucks   
   home stadium (I am not sure if it is called GM Place or Rogers Place these   
   days), which is appropriate since the logo of the Canucks is an orca.   
      
   Also, some may be interested in my Orca Hot Foot experience   
   of 1995 at The Vancouver Aquarium, described on   
   https://www.nfld.com//~dalton/orca.html ,   
   which I view as a major shamanic call for help from Bjossa.   
   I failed her, and now have failed Tokitae, but I hope to   
   help remaining captive and wild cetaceans with my global   
   species balance working soon.
