"The Chanie Wenjack Schook for Indigenous Studies" at Trent University. officially opens today. Pearl (Wenjack) Achneepineskum and her sister Daisy Munroe will take part in the ceremony. The school , as well as the Wenjack Theatre at Trent, was named for their borther Chanie (Charlie), who at the age of 12 died from exposure while trying to flee a residential school in the 1960s. The Wenjack name went on to national recognition 50 years after his death, when Gord Downie wrote and directed the story of the boy's short and tumultuous life, in "The Secret Path". The film is now at the centre of an educational program soon to be released to the public.
