Episode 6: One More Day

Kīwew is a Cree word. It means "he goes home." In this case, the "he" is Governor General award winning author David A. Robertson. He has spent the past few years discovering his family history, connecting with his Cree identity and rebuilding his relationship with his father.

David always felt he was different growing up, but it wasn’t until he was being teased one summer in the small town of Melita, that he thought to question it. In this episode we hear how David, with the help of his father, begins to embrace his Cree identity.

David's earliest childhood memory involves running down the hallway of his suburban Winnipeg home, whereas his father's takes place on the trapline, in Northern Manitoba. Despite these disparate beginnings, both have had to embark on their own journeys to reconnect with their Cree identities.
