Invert Media took a three hour oral teaching and made it into a 1hour video presentation that honored the values and principles of the Seven Fires. They were very respectful and demonstrated a deep sensitivity. I am honored by the work they’ve done. Sally Gaikezheyongai – Aboriginal Literacy Worker |
