ABOUT CHANIE WENJACK
Chanie Wenjack was a young Anishinaabe boy from Ogoki Post in Marten Falls
in northern Ontario. He attended Cecilia Jeffrey Indian Residential School near
Kenora. Chanie attended the school for two years and ran away on October 16,
1966. He was headed home when he died of exposure on October 23, 1966 on
the railway tracks near Redditt, Ontario, the home of his uncle.

Chanie is the namesake of Trent University’s Wenjack Theatre and the Chanie
Wenjack School for Indigenous Studies – as an homage to his flight to safety,
UNDERGRADUATE and the safe space created for Indigenous knowledges, perspectives and
communities at Trent.
