Indigenous Veterans Day 
“When we were called forth to fight for the cause of civilization, our people showed all the bravery of our warriors of old.”
~Mike Mountain Horse, Kainai First Nation 
Indigenous Veterans Day observes the significant past and present contributions of First Nations, Métis, and Inuit in service to the Canadian Armed Forces. It is estimated that over 12,000 First Nation People, Métis, Inuit men and women served. It was not until 1995 that Indigenous veterans were allowed to lay a wreath at the National War Memorial to honour the fallen. Indigenous Veterans Day started in Winnipeg on November 8th, 1994, as a way to recognize the importance of Indigenous Veterans. The generous spirit of Indigenous people goes beyond volunteering to serve. While some men and women enlisted in the military, First Nation communities around Canada donated money, food, and materials as well as provided land for airports and defence installations. https://www.veterans.gc.ca/eng...
