Events for June 13, 2026

Indigenous women have played an outsized role in major environmental justice campaigns in the Pacific Northwest. Se’Si’Le, an Indigenous-led nonprofit, is bringing to Orcas Island an event to honor and celebrate these matriarchs as part of its nation-wide 2026 campaign: Seven Sisters—The Return of the Matriarchy. These courageous women have stood up time and again against overwhelming odds, realizing success through the animating restorative power and instinctive wisdom that comes from being the caregivers of life they bring into the world.
