reconciliation

The secret path and legacy.

Though his album and graphic novel, The Secret Path, telling the story of the 12-year-old Anishinaabe boy, Wenjack, who died trying to escape a residential school, Downey sought to force the country to acknowledge its past Reconciliations.

His advocacy lives on through the Gord Downie Cheney Wenjack Fund, which promotes education, supports the National Centre for Truth and Reconciliations, and funds grassroots reconciliations in communities across Canada.

The Assemblies of First Nations honoured Gord prior to his passing, and I just want you to hear the emotion in Gord's voice when he was honoured with the name Man Who Walks With Stars.

Let's hear.
