Great Job
Hi Team Wenjack - just dropping a note here to say I saw that you created your article last night and to say nicely done - well formatted, great summary of the background and the reception of the novel. It's also great you added links to other wikipedia article and included the relevant categories. My only suggestion is you might want to add a sentence about the collaborative nature of project to the introduction section. Cheers, Will (talk) 19:21, 17 March 2017 (UTC)

Hi All - I think this is really thorough, too. Two minor points: I wonder if the title of the page should be Wenjack (novella), and I hesitated on the word "corpse." I know this is technically the right term, but I wonder if outside of a medical context, another term might be more fitting (less dehumanizing, given the aims of this literary text). One larger point is that I wonder if you can find a way to bring in the role of Wenjack's family, so that readers can know that they were consulted and participated in this project. (I think this is particularly pressing given the important questions people are asking re: Boyden's right to tell certain stories.) I know it is easier to find clear statements of this in relation to Secret Path, so you could bring these in for the overall summary of the project, but you may also find specific notes re: the novella. Here is his sister, Pearl Achneepineskum, on the importance of telling her brother's story: http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/thunder-bay/pearl-wenjack-secret-path-1.3815354. Here, Boyden says how his sister, Pearl, gave him permission to use the photo: http://www.macleans.ca/news/canada/how-chanie-wenjack-chose-joseph-boyden/. As I mentioned in class, she and her sisters also appear at the start of the CBC screening of Secret Path, and in the panel discussion after, respondents talk about the role that the family played in the project (see links on syllabus).

Hi Team - I am rereading Wenjack, and then I reread your article and paused here on your chronology: " Eventually the three boys reach a river, where they run into the two brothers’ uncle at his trapline. They are given a meager meal of freshly-caught fish in the cabin where the uncle, his wife, and his daughter are staying." To me, the three boys first find the uncle, aunt and cousin at their home (not the trapline), and then the uncle plans to take the nephews "up the lake to the trapline" and stay for a week (53). - Kathryn --Astu260instructor 2016 (talk) 21:35, 20 March 2017 (UTC)
