Indigenous Veterans Day

Indigenous Veterans Day

UM honours Indigenous Veterans Day and Remembrance Day. Shauna Mulligan is a Métis PhD student in Indigenous Studies and Army Reserve Veteran, having served from 1995 to 2002 as a Medical Assistant. In the above video, she shares her family's rich history.

Indigenous Veterans Day is a significant occasion to recognize and pay tribute to the Indigenous peoples who have served and continue to serve in the Canadian Armed Forces. It is a day to honor their contributions and sacrifices in defending our country.

By commemorating Indigenous Veterans Day, we acknowledge the unique experiences and challenges faced by Indigenous servicemen and women. This day serves as a reminder of the resilience and strength of Indigenous communities and their invaluable role in shaping Canada's military history.
