“Part 4 – Kenina The seed she planted in others without knowing it still lives on today and will continue in the future. Just as her influence touch so many through media, her spirit echos just as strong with everyone she touched. Kenina is no longer here with us but all her presence will be remembered forever. Every time I will turn my radio, I will think of her. Gaetan’s sister, Nancy St-Hilaire”

“Part 3 – Kenina She never stopped trying her best. Thank you Kenina for being you. Thank you to you Kenina for all you have done. Thank you Kenina for all your love for others. From all directions, she will always be remembered and your family will always love and miss you. Thank you Kenina for giving me the privilege to have known you and for loving my brother. Because of you Kenina, I had the courage to introduce and influence the inclusion of native issues at my University.”

“Part 2 - Kenina Creating access to distance education via the radio through broadcasting for the remote native communities and giving the North a wider voice. Anyone who had the chance to have met Kenina, would have seen a petite lady with a shy smile. Her real essence was more of a strong person caring for others as she was walking her path. One step by one step, she kept walking her journey. You would have thought that there is no way that little one had done so much.”

“Part 1 - Kenina Gaetan I am very sorry that you lost your soulmate. Here are my thoughts about Kenina. It was in Toronto that I met Kenina in early 90s on one of her trip to the city to pursue her dream to connect the northern native communities. Her dream that started when she was a very young girl. It was far from all technologies of today that she invented that concept that is it possible with the radio to reach and teach others who speak her native language.”
