Hi!
I recently heard a song on the CBC by a First nations singer but I missed the name of the performer and the song.
He was a folk singer and was part of the Yorkville scene in the 60s - but was originally from one of the First Nations communities in NB, perhaps Elsipogtog.
The song itself dated back to 60s and told the story of a young boy who ran away from a residential school and was trying to make his way back to his father (his mother had died). But he died in a snowstorm, I believe.
Ring any bells?

If you go to CBC radio, you can generally find a link to the program, and if nothing else, email the host and they'll let you know.

What time of day, what program was it on?

Sounds too old to be Hubert Francis.
