And I think people are going to be so surprised in the best way possible when they come and see this opera and see Indigenous excellence really put in the forefront and you're given a space and you're given this opportunity, which we thank Sealaska Heritage Institute, we thank Perseverance Theatre, we thank everyone who has been in a room talking about this, we thank every elder who has gone and stood up and laid down so we can stand there, here as well, and tell this particular story. For the people that were there hundreds of years ago who stood up and fought for our people against a then considered world power and stood their ground and with something that we're still talking about today and a lot of people died so we can tell this story. And I think all of those people would be very proud of the story that's being told. And I think we're doing them, doing them all service and doing an honor by telling this story and showcasing all of your work.
