HWP August-December.mp4
November 8th marks Indigenous Veterans Day in Canada, a day to recognize and honour the incredible contributions of Indigenous soldiers who served in the First and Second World Wars, the Korean War, and peacekeeping missions around the world.
Their sacrifices have often been overlooked and underappreciated, but their bravery and commitment to service are immeasurable. Today, we continue to honour Indigenous veterans—both past and present—by sharing their stories and ensuring their legacy is never forgotten.
