August Schellenberg at an event for Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee (2007)
A baby killer whale was rescued near Campbell River British Columbia in 1977. She was fed by hand by sport fisherman, Bill Davis, until staff from 'Sealand of the Pacific' of Victoria could put together a rescue team. The baby killer whale became known as Miracle because she would need several miracles to survive. After becoming a star at the oceanarium, she died under a cloud of controversy. Who killed her? This is her story.
