Fifty years ago this month, 12-year-old Chanie Wenjack ran away from a residential school. He died alone, frozen by the side of northern Ontario train tracks, hundreds of kilometres away from home, his body bruised by repeated falls. He was found with no jacket, no food and only a couple of matchsticks. Author Joseph Boyden tells Nam Kiwanuka Chanie's story, the subject of his novella, "Wenjack".
