As the University of Wollongong (Shoalhaven Campus) Elder In Residence I was very interested in you opinion piece by Hank Laan (Your View, March 14).
Your readers may not be aware that the Orca, or commonly called Killer Whale, is a powerful Dharawal totem.
In fact it is my personal totem, having been born to the area nearby to Botany Bay and Port Hacking.
I would encourage your paper to support, as I do, the concept of an Orsinus Orca casting to promote our people and their association with the areas mentioned.
There are numerous carvings depicting Orsinus Orca all around the areas of Botany Bay and Port Hacking.
