Cluster Stars Song Book is a fundraiser for the Gord Downie & Chanie Wenjack Fund, a national charity that is part of Downie’s legacy dedicated to reconciliation and improving the lives of Indigenous peoples.

The fund embodies the singer-songwriter’s commitment, and that of his family, to working with Chanie Wenjack’s family to continue the conversation that began with Chanie’s residential school story, and to aid our collective reconciliation journey through a combination of awareness, education, and action.

"After learning Chanie Wenjack’s story, Gord used his talent to raise awareness of Chanie’s story and urge all Canadians to “Do Something” to move reconciliation forward to build a better Canada. To have artists like Sandra carry on Gord’s work and ensure Chanie is never forgotten is phenomenal. We are so grateful for her support as an Artist Ambassador and through the song book."

Sarah Midanik, President & CEO, DWF

"The songs of Cluster Stars are meant to bridge worldviews and present an opportunity for people to explore their own thoughts and feelings through music, words and images, just as Gord Downie promoted truth and reconciliation through Secret Path."

Sandra Sutter, singer-songwriter

About Cluster Stars

Cluster Stars was inspired and endorsed by Elders Reg Crowshoe and Rose Crow Shoe of the Piikani First Nation in southern Alberta. The album was named after a pattern on the family tipi flaps; light creates a star cluster image on the tipi floor and represents a safe space to gather and share. In this context, Cluster Stars represents the coming together of Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples in the spirit of reconciliation.
