What does this phrase mean (from Disney’s Pocahontas)?

I was watching Pocahontas the other day and I was wondering what (I'm spelling this phonetically, so forgive me) 'quay quay notura' meant. Grandmother Willow was singing it to Pocahontas "Quay quay notura, you will understand." Does it mean 'you will understand'?I've been really curious about what this means. I'd look it up if I knew what language it came from and how to spell it. Thank you for answering!

Algonquin. Que que na-to-ra = you will understand, according to several sources. I don't know the language myself.... Show More
