Aboriginal Veterans Day History

Aboriginal Veterans Day seeks to remember and honor those indigenous people who lost their lives in war. This day serves as remembrance for the indigenous people who fought and died in the line of duty, particularly during WWI, WWII and the Korean War.

Aboriginal Veterans Day was inaugurated in 1994 in the city of Winnipeg. It is observed annually on November 8th.

Today, November 8th, is National Aboriginal Veterans Day. "In Cree we say 'Kahgee pohn noten took' on #RemembranceDay. It means, 'the fighting has ended.'” https://t.co/zOywslxpM7 #IndigenousLivesMatter #LestWeForget https://t.co/e3E17F3Y4y

The service of Canada’s Indigenous Peoples over the years is impressive. In the 20th century, an estimated 12,000 served Canada, with at least 500 paying the ultimate sacrifice. On National Aboriginal Veterans’ Day, we remember those who served & still serve today. #LestWeForget https://t.co/uFofm88eoE
