Indigenous Heritage

A tribute to Indigenous veterans

Indigenous Veterans Day on November 8 is a meaningful opportunity to reflect on the remarkable contributions and sacrifices of First Nations, Métis, and Inuit individuals during Canada's military operations and peacekeeping projects.

Indigenous service members displayed remarkable resilience, overcoming language barriers, cultural disparities and significant journeys to serve in the Canadian Armed Forces. Post-war, many Indigenous war veterans did not receive the same care as others. 

Today, Indigenous individuals continue a legacy of service. Take a moment to acknowledge service and sacrifice with a title from this list.
