Honour Indigenous Veterans

Indigenous Veterans Day is observed across Canada on November 8. It recognizes the military service and sacrifices of First Nations, Métis and Inuit Veterans.

Many Indigenous Veterans served while facing discrimination at home. Some returned from military service to unequal access to benefits, support and land. This resource provides an opportunity to include their experiences and contributions in broader Remembrance Day learning.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

The resources provided here are designed to support the teaching of Indigenous cultures, including First Nations, Métis, and Inuit peoples. It is important to recognize that these communities are not monolithic; beliefs, traditions, and practices vary greatly from Nation to Nation, and even from community to community. The content shared in these materials reflects my own lived experience and understanding of Indigenous cultures, but it does not encompass the full diversity or richness of these traditions.

I encourage educators to approach these resources with respect, sensitivity, and openness to learning. When possible, please engage with local Indigenous communities or cultural experts to ensure that the information shared is accurate and culturally appropriate for the specific Nations or groups you are teaching about.

These resources are intended to foster understanding and appreciation for Indigenous people.
