  • Today is National Aboriginal Veterans Day.
    • Brief video (2min) from 2020
    • Aboriginal Veterans Day is a day to recognize and acknowledge the many contributions and sacrifices of Aboriginals not only to Canada’s war efforts but to its peacekeeping reputation.
    • It was established in Manitoba in 1994 and is now recognized countrywide. It is celebrated annually on Nov. 8. 
    • A national monument honoring First Nations, Metis and Inuit soldiers was unveiled in Ottawa, just down from the National War Memorial on June 21, 2001
    • Aboriginal veterans were not allowed to share a “toast” in honour of lost comrades with fellow veterans in a Royal Canadian Legion until 1951, and only if the province where the Legion was located allowed it. 
    • Native veterans and families were not allowed to lay wreathes or have their own formed guards at the National War Memorial in Ottawa on Remembrance Day until the mid‑1990
    • Today, about 3.5 per cent of the Canadian Armed Forces is of First Nation descent, representing many distinct cultures. They continue to make Canada proud through their service at home and abroad. We should honour their contributions and of those before them.
    • In this day and age of reconciliation, acknowledging Aboriginal roles in the protection of Canada will help other citizens understand what true reconciliation means to the country as a whole. We must never forget the sacrifices and accomplishments of Aboriginal Veterans, especially as we move forward in our journey of healing, reconciliation and a renewed relationship between Canada and its First Nations peoples.
  • Lunch: Bannock (burgers and dogs) + Soup
  • No school this Friday or next Monday.

Truth and Reconciliation:  I want to acknowledge that Truth and Reconciliation is not a Sept. 30 holiday.  Rather, it’s a process for all of us who live in this great nation of Canada to gain understanding of the truth of what happened and to work to build reconciliation so that all people of this land can move forward in a healthy, harmonious way.  When you come to this school, and when you work towards your graduation, it is one step along the way.  Over the course of the year, we will listen to some of the stories of the people who have shared.  Today we will listen to the introduction to the 8th Fire series: 8th Fire: Indigenous in The City - YouTube - Episode 1
