National Indigenous Veterans Day

Sunday, November 8th, is designated National Indigenous Veterans Day in Canada. Many, many Indigenous people travelled great distances, overcame language barriers and cultural differences, and experienced unfair treatment, all to serve in Canada's military. 

Today we honour the courage and sacrifices of First Nations, Inuit and Métis service members who served Canada in wartime, conflict, and peacekeeping missions.
