''Secret Path'' is a [[CanadianMedia Canadian]] ComicBook by Jeff Lemire, and part of a Canadian multimedia project centering around the ''Secret Path'' album by Gord Downie, which also includes an AnimatedFilm.
In 1966, a young [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anishinaabe Anishinaabe]] boy named [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chanie_Wenjack Chanie Wenjack]] (mistakenly called "Charlie" by his teachers) died next to a set of railroad tracks. He was taken from his loving family and brought to the Cecilia Jeffrey Indian Residential School. When he managed to escape, he tried to make his way back home on foot. His home was 400 miles away, but he had no way of knowing that. Thus, he had no choice but to walk.
The purpose of ''Secret Path'' is to raise awareness of the plight of Native Americans who have suffered like Chanie. In fact, the proceeds of the project went towards the Gordon Downie Secret Path Fund for Truth and Reconciliation.
The comic was released in 2016.
