kikiskitotawânawak iskwêwak Lakes is a group of lakes in east-central Saskatchewan, situated approximately 1.6 kilometres southeast of the town of Unity and about 68 kilometres southwest of North Battleford. The lake system consists of one larger lake and several smaller lakes, covering a combined area of approximately 1,250 hectares. The lakes sit at the headwaters of Eagle Creek, which flows as a tributary into the North Saskatchewan River, placing them within the broader Saskatchewan River drainage basin. Dempster Brook is noted as a primary inflow.

The name kikiskitotawânawak iskwêwak comes from Nêhiyawêwin (Plains Cree) and translates to "we honour the women," commemorating Indigenous women who were killed in battle near this site in the 1800s. The name was officially adopted in 2018, replacing the previous name of Killsquaw Lakes, and was given by area Elders in recognition of the site's historical and cultural significance to First Nations peoples.

No boat launches or marinas have been documented for these lakes, and no bathymetric (depth) charts are available. There are no beaches, camping facilities, or nearby services and amenities currently listed. Paddlers planning a visit should be prepared for a self-sufficient outing with no established infrastructure on site. The nearest community is Unity, which lies just over a kilometre to the northwest and may offer the closest access to supplies or services.
