Today, we honour the thousands of First Nations, Inuit and Métis Veterans who have served with courage and dedication.
On National Indigenous Peoples’ Day, we recognize the service and sacrifices of Indigenous Peoples during the First and Second World Wars, the Korean War and in times of conflict and peace since then. Your contributions have played a key role in defending the freedom of our country.
This year also marks the 25th anniversary of the unveiling of the National Aboriginal Veterans Monument in Ottawa, Ontario. The Monument reflects the unique heritage, diverse cultures and lasting contributions of Indigenous Peoples.
