national indigenous veterans day | november 8, 2021

zhimaagnishii giizgigad

[“soldier day” in first nation ojibwe, whitefish river first nation]

national indigenous veterans day is a day of remembrance and commemoration of the contributions of indigenous veterans in the first and second world wars, as well as the korean war.

did you know:

-          national indigenous veterans day began in winnipeg in 1994 when indigenous veterans were not recognized in remembrance day activities, and is now celebrated in many communities across canada.

-          over 12,000 indigenous people are estimated to have volunteered in all three wars, including 7,000 first nations members, and approximately 300 died during these conflicts.

-          first nations, inuit and métis people were not eligible for conscription because they were not citizens of canada (they were also unable to vote), but many volunteered despite the challenges they faced, including traveling long distances from remote communities to enlist, learning a new language (english), and coping with racism against them.

-          indigenous people were not allowed to join the canadian air force until 1942 and the canadian navy until 1943.

-          both men and women enlisted, serving as soldiers, nurses and in other roles. many served with distinction, winning medals for bravery in action.

-          after the war, enlisted indigenous people returned home to continued discrimination, including in some cases denial of benefits, loss of indian status, and expropriation of their land by the government for non-indigenous veterans.

-          it was only in 1995 that indigenous veterans were allowed to lay wreaths commemorating their fallen comrades at the national war memorial in ottawa.

-          the first monument commemorating the role of indigenous people during these three wars was dedicated in 2001 in ottawa.

-          it took until 2003 for the government of canada to provide veterans’ benefits to first nations soldiers who had been denied them in the past, and métis veterans received an apology and compensations cheques in 2019 (métis nation of ontario, 2019).

-          today, indigenous people continue to serve in canada’s armed forces.

-          right to play, 2021

as part of the department of history efforts to promote public history, we welcome faculty, 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 and the public to a livestream event on november 11, 2021 to mark the 100th anniversary of the adoption of the poppy as the symbol of remembrance.

the decision to use the poppy as a symbol was made at a meeting of the canadian great war veterans’ association held in the prince arthur hotel in july 1921. at the meeting, madame anna guérin, who took inspiration from john mccrea’s poem, “in flanders fields,” presented the idea of selling poppies to raise funds for wounded veterans, widows and orphans.

the event is in french and english. the livestream consists of a variety of films, ceremonies and presentations. additional information is available at researchtvcanada.ca and at researchtv.ca.
