Many Indigenous people live by the ocean and gain knowledge about it. Quinn and Austin meet Indigenous Scientists and Knowledge Holders who live and work near the ocean. Elder Mus-Swiya Jamie Dixon is from the shishalh Nation who are caretakers of their territory, taking what they need when they fish. Haida elder Kawan Sangaa Woody Morrison describes how they learn navigation by studying stars, tides, birds and winds while on the ocean. Kai makes a tide diorama to demonstrate the flow of ocean waters and DJ Salmon spreads the message about practices that endanger wild salmon. Fisherman Rosemarie Georgeson respects ocean fish and habitats while making a living. Commander John Herrington talks about how sharks contribute to the well-beings of our oceans. Water provides travel, food, and connection to family for tribes from Alaska to Vancouver Island.
