​National Indigenous Veterans Day is November 8 of each year. Many folks ask why Indigenous Veterans Day is separate from Remembrance Day. This special day to honour Indigenous soldiers began in 1994. Veterans Affairs Canada acknowledges that despite their long service, many First Nation, Métis, and Inuit veterans faced racism and systemic barriers on their return to civilian life. It was not until 1995 that Indigenous Peoples were allowed to lay Remembrance Day wreaths at the National War Memorial to remember and honour their dead comrades.

 

“Indigenous folks who served in the wars, were forced to overcome many challenges to serve in uniform, from learning a new language and adapting to cultural differences, to having to travel great distances from their remote communities just to enlist. The challenges they faced often extended to their post-service life. Many Indigenous war Veterans would not receive equal treatment compared to other Canadian Veterans.

 

Canada expropriated hundreds of thousands of acres of reserve lands during this era. Some of their land was also taken and given to non-Indigenous people as part of a program that granted farmland to returning Veterans. The government typically denied this reestablishment program to Indigenous Veterans and treated them unfairly in other ways.

 

Many Indigenous people had hoped their wartime service and sacrifice would increase their rights in Canadian society. But Canada did not treat them the same as other Veterans after they returned to civilian life. Often, they were denied access to full Veteran benefits and support programs. Despite serving on the front lines together, Indigenous Veterans were left behind compared to their non-Indigenous comrades. This second-class treatment made their transition to life back home even harder. This discrimination had a negative impact on many brave Indigenous people who had given so much in the cause of peace and freedom." – Indigenous Veterans, Government of Canada
