"We are very grateful for the opportunity to share the work we've been doing," Rotshenn贸n:ni and Kayla said. "We believe that shedding light on the project and its impacts can have a positive outcome for the Indigenous community. Overall the experience was very rewarding and the crew was quite fun to work with. We hope to inspire others to undertake similar projects and to create change within their own communities."
