On October 22, 1966, Chanie Wenjack, a 12-year-old Anishinaabe boy, died after escaping the Cecilia Jeffrey Residential School in Kenora, Ontario. He tried to walk over 600 kilometres to his home community in Ogoki Post.

Today, on the anniversary of his passing, we honour Gord Downie – fearless artist, poetic visionary, and bridge-builder – who used his voice to not only shape the landscape of Canadian music, but to call on all of us to “Do Something” to move reconciliation forward. secretpathweek.ca

#Dagwaagi, or #Dagwaagin, the #Anishinaabemowin word for #autumn or “It is fall,” begins this year on Sept 22. In many Indigenous traditions, autumn is a time of balance, gratitude, and preparation, when the harvest is gathered, and medicines are collected. #AutumnEquinox #Gratitude #SeasonalCycles
