there are certainly records of them trying to do harm to humans
'legends' or oral histories of the Inuit, then of Euro- mariers
written records date from expeditions in the early 1900s
small boats have been destroyed - not whale boats but recently - maybe they got too close to the kids
a surfer got bit in the 1960s or 70s - maybe he looked like a seal
Orcas are highly intelligent - more than humans by some criteria, but don't expect all Orcas to welcome you as a friend or be your pet
