在Yvonne Wallace開始為《útszan》（改善）進行採排前一天，她與母親一同回顧了台詞的讀音。這演出的部份對白是以ucwalmícwts（人民的語言）來編寫。她透過Zoom視訊會議向Pancouver表示：「當時我們正在練習「q’a7」這個字（食物）的發音。這是非常短促，並以聲門來發音的詞彙。我以為自己懂得如何把它讀出來。」她的母親是精通ucwalmícwts的語言教師，當時亦有協助Yvonne掌握正確的讀音。
Combining ancestral knowledge with her theatre background, Wallace is merging two worlds, aiming to create something very special to witness on stage.

According to the high-profile Vancouver environmentalist, we know more about the moon and Mars than what lies beneath the seas.

20世纪心理学家尚·皮亚杰（Jean Piaget）以「认知失衡」（cognitive disequilibrium）一词来解释孩子逻辑及推理的发展。当他们未能凭着现有知识去理解眼前的新处境或任务，就会产生失衡。然而，皮亚杰表示可以透过突破来重建平衡。当孩子将新信息消化或据此作出调整，便会经历突破，重新掌握之前的平衡感。

温哥华编剧兼导演 Asia Youngman的事业有很多值得自豪之处。她获奖的两套短片《N’xaxaitkw》和《This Ink Runs Deep》先后于多伦多国际电影节上映。此外，Playback网站在2020年把这位克里 — 梅蒂裔（Cree-Métis）电影制作者列于其「十名值得关注的电影工作者名单」。她亦曾于美国公共广播公司节目登场，并参与数个开发中的电视项目，其中一个节目的制作公司更由李奥纳多·狄卡皮欧（Leonardo DiCaprio）持有。
