===''Maclean's''===
Adams served as investigative journalist for five years at ''[[Maclean's]]'', Canada's national news magazine, where he covered national stories, including "The Lonely Death of Charlie Wenjack" (Volume 80, February 1967), reprinted under the title "Why did Charlie Wenjack Die?" in ''The Poverty Wall'' in 1970.<ref name="obit"/>

[[Chanie Wenjack]] was an Indigenous [[First Nations in Canada|First Nations]] child who ran away from a [[Canadian Indian residential school system|residential school]] in northern [[Ontario]] in an attempt to reach his father, 650 kilometres away. The child was found beside a [[Canadian National Railway|CNR]] track, poorly dressed and dead of hunger and cold. In the ''Maclean's'' article, Adams wrote: "Under the heading The Lonely Death of Charlie Wenjack, he wrote, “It’s not so unusual that Indian children run away from the residential schools they are sent to. They do it all the time, and they lose their fingers and toes to frostbite. Sometimes they lose a leg or an arm trying to climb aboard freight trains. Occasionally, one of them dies. And perhaps because they are Indians, no one seems to care very much. So this, then, is the story of how a little boy met a terrible and lonely death, of the handful of people who became involved, and of a town that hardly noticed.”
