Indigenous Veterans | Thursday, November 10, 2022 | Micah Quinn | Bridge City News

Remembrance Day is also a time to honour our Indigenous veterans who have laid down their lives for Canada. Chuck Isaacs is Metis and a veteran himself, and he also serves as the president of the Aboriginal Veterans Society of Alberta. He would place the number of Indigenous veterans that have served our country between 30-50,000 throughout the years since the 1800s. He says for the longest time, Indigenous veterans were excluded from having membership at their local legion in Canada.

Indigenous military history in our country includes the war of 1812, the two world wars, the Korean War and recent wars including Afghanistan and the Middle East.
