The Tragically Hip frontman released the 10-song album last month. It tells the story of 12-year-old Ojibway boy Chanie Wenjack, who died 50 years ago from hunger and exposure trying to return to his family from the Cecilia Jeffrey Indian Residential School near Kenora, Ont.

Downie’s brother Mike introduced him to the story which was first published in 1967 by Maclean’s, according to a release.

“Chanie haunts me. His story is Canada’s story. This is about Canada,” Downie said in a release. “The next hundred years are going to be painful as we get to know Chanie Wenjack and thousands like him.”
