Secret Path Week is a national movement commemorating the legacies of Gord Downie and Chanie Wenjack - it's also a great opportunity for all of us to answer the Hip frontman's call to action; to ‘Do Something ' to move reconciliation forward. To talk about the importance of this week, we're joined by Paul Kuster, comedian, former broadcaster and indigenous activist.

For much of the last decade, the name of an Ojibwe boy and a prominent Kingston musician have been connected in the quest for reconciliation. Today, Gord Downie's home town of Kingston gets its first Legacy Space inspired by Chanie Wenjack and other indigenous residential school children. It's been a long time coming, but a new transitional housing community for homeless veterans is finally being built in Kingston. We spoke with one veteran who has been working to make it a reality. At this weekend's Lock and Paddle event, Peterborough's storied lift lock carried over hundreds of canoers and kayakers. We checked in on the state of the historic structure as it continues to operate while aging. Small towns and rural communities are not the only ones hit by doctor shortages. This past weekend, that same issue forced Hotel Dieu Hospital to reduce its Urgent Care Centre's hours. A Parry Sound woman has put her whole body where her mouth is and took on a personal challenge for a community cause. We heard how Kim's Swim went yesterday and why it was so important for her to achieve it.

Ep 366 - Every Child Matters -  The Lonely Death of Chanie Wenjack Guest: Michael Downie   On January 19, 2022, Chanie Wenjack would have turned 67 years of age. He died in 1967 at the age of 12 after running away from a residential school in northern Ontario. He tried to walk close to 400 miles in the cold weather to get back home.    Chanie was a member of the Ojibway and he was attending the Cecilia Jeffrey Residential School in Kenora, Ontario. He became lonely and ran away. He died trying to get home to see his father. His story is heartbreaking. It is one that Gord Downie of Tragically Hip shares in “Secret Path,” the beloved singer's last solo musical and video release.   Downie said, “I never knew Chanie, but I will always love him. He haunts me. His story is Canada's story. We are not the country we thought we were.” In his last on-stage performance, he called out to Prime Minister Trudeau to fix the problems in northern Canada, saying, “It's maybe worse than it's ever been, so it's not on the improve.”   According to the “United Nations Index on Human Development - Quality of Life,” people who live on band or reservation lands in Canada have a standard of living that is ranked 63rd in the world. The rest of Canada is ranked 6th. According to former National Chief of the Assembly of First Nations Perry Bellegarde, “6th versus 63 is an enormous gap in the standard of living. It's a gap that represents a disproportionate number of First Nations people in prisons; it represents the high youth suicide rate, which is four to five times the national average; it represents 40,000 indiginous children in foster care and it represents a cap on education funding that is close to half of provincial averages.”   Micheal Downie, the Tragically Hip singer's older brother and the filmmaker who produced “Secret Path,” carries on the work of the foundation the two set up, the “Downie Wenjack Fund.” The fund calls on Canadians to build a better country and to see the people we've been trained to ignore.   Stuart McNish invited Michael Downie to join him for a Conversation That Matters about the need to build awareness, advance education, and enhance connections between all peoples in Canada.   Please become a Patreon subscriber and support the production of this program, with a $1 pledge https://goo.gl/ypXyDs

With the discovery of the bodies of indigenous children in Kamaloops, many have been reflecting on how Canada has treated its indigenous people; and how we can remedy the pain we have caused them. For nearly a century, Canada ran horrible residential schools that still scar them as a people. On this special bonus episode we will look at what exactly they went through in these horrible institutions.

How the medium changes the message through the story of Chanie Wenjack

We are NOT mascots! And don't tell me about polls suggesting Native people are just fine with the mockery and racial slurs. The are more Americans falsely claiming to be Native people than real Native people. These are the clowns that are polled. I remember Chanie Wenjack who died on this date in 1966 of exposure attempting to escape from a boarding school almost 400 miles from his home in Ontario

Gord Downie was just 2 years old when Chanie Wenjack died, but the Secret Path united them 50 years later. The post Gord Downie’s Secret Path Revisited appeared first on The Geeks and Beats Podcast with Alan Cross and Michael Hainsworth.

Hosted by award-winning journalist & bestselling author Tanya Talaga, Understanding the Secret Path explores the creation of Gord Downie’s Secret Path (based on the true story of Chanie Wenjack), the history of residential schools, and how the Wenjack and Downie families came together to support Canada’s journey towards reconciliation. Featuring guests such as Mike Downie (Gord’s brother), Harriet Visitor (Chanie’s niece), Kevin Hearn and Kevin Drew (Barenaked Ladies and Broken Social Scene), we are all urged to answer Gord’s call to “Do Something” to make our country a better place.

Mike Downie was in our Venture Club studio for a two part interview to discuss Chanie Wenjack, history as it pertains to Indigenous people of Canada and the Downie-Wenjack project that his brother Gord championed. @downiewenjack.

The "Secret Path" by Downie and Jeff Lemire suggests that in 1966 an Indigenous teen named Chanie Wenjack ran away from a residential school near Kenora Ontario and died trying to get home to his first nation contains some unsubstantiated claims.

Robert MacBain is interviewed on the Jim Harrison show.
