Kristi's Story
Please note: our content contains sensitive discussions of childhood sexual abuse.
“Silence isn’t getting us anywhere. These patterns are just repeating.”
— Kristi, CSA Survivor & Indigenous Advocate
In this gripping and courageous short film, Kristi shares her journey as an Indigenous survivor of childhood sexual abuse—a story that is both deeply personal and tragically common. From being kidnapped as a child to witnessing the generational impact of systemic abuse, Kristi’s voice sheds light on the patterns that have long harmed Indigenous families in Canada. She speaks of stolen childhoods, foster care trauma, and the deep-rooted silencing of survivors. But she also speaks of resistance, of healing through ceremony, and of a new generation rising to reclaim their voice.
