Julie Balen tweeted a link to a CBC interview with Joseph Boyden yesterday with a great question that connects to our work here in #CDNcraft. 

Background info: 
Joseph Boyden and Gord Downie both released artistic works this week to share the story of Chanie Wenjack. Joseph Boyden released a book titled Wenjack. Gord Downie worked with others to create the Secret Path project, including an album, graphic novel and animated film also telling Chanie Wenjack's story.

  • CBC Article about The Secret Path project

If we are investigating the question "What does being a great Canadian look like?" in our #CDNcraft project, how does Joseph Boydens perspective impact our work?  In his interview, he states "we aren't really a country yet", due to a lack of understanding around our history and treatment of Indigenous peoples in Canada?  

Please listen to the interview above. The Secret Path airs Sunday October 23rd at 9:00 pm and immediately after CBC will livestream the Road to Reconciliation. Join the conversation! Share your thoughts in our online D2L discussion forum or tweet them with the tag #CDNcraft.
