Description
Curious to learn more about her roots, a little girl asks her grandfather to say a word in Cree. He is saddened when he realizes he has forgotten it, a consequence of many years spent in residential school. He tells her he "lost the words" while he was there, and she decides to help him find them again.
A touching story about intergenerational relationships and a delicate introduction to a rather dark chapter in Canadian history.
