New Gord Downie work devoted to First Nations boy who died running away from residential school

A 12-year-old Ojibway boy who died from hunger and exposure after trying to find his way home from a residential school is the inspiration behind a new project from Gord Downie.

In 1966, Chanie (Charlie) Wenjack's body was found by the railway tracks near Kenora, Ont.

It's a story that so affected Tragically Hip lead singer Gord Downie, he created a solo album, a graphic novel and an animated film to honour Wenjack's memory and educate other Canadians about the tragedy.

"I never knew Chanie, but I will always love him," Downie said in a statement on Friday, announcing plans to release the package in October.

An animated film, inspired by the music and illustrations will be broadcast on CBC on Oct. 23.
