About Kita Kiskihtihtakwaw: So They Will Know
The name of the film was gifted from her aunt who said in a conversation ‘they need to know’, which later translated to the Inthinew (Cree) language as Kita kiskithihtahkwaw: ‘So They Will Know’. We acknowledge the elders/survivors who lived through Residential Schools and remember the ones who did not make it home.
