Whiteye, E. Bud. (Author). Methot, Suzanne, 1968- (Added Author).

Summary: For thousands of years, the role of peacekeeper, warrior and veteran have been extremely important for First Nation, Métis and Inuit people. Today, veterans are revered at every community powwow and Remembrance Day ceremony. The eagle staff and flags are carried in with honour by veterans and peacekeepers from the local community. We recognize that these soldiers overcame great challenges and made inspiring sacrifices to help this nation. They fought to make sure we keep our freedoms that we enjoy today--Publisher.
