Indigenous Canadians Engaged in the First World War

Indigenous Canadians Engaged in the First World War - 2008.
97
Some 3,500 natives from the Canadian Aboriginal minorities took part from?1914 to?1918 in the war effort of the Canadian Expeditionary Corps in France. Confronted with modern warfare, they brought into it their traditional qualities?; courage, endurance, and their skill in shooting. Their enlistment aroused discontent among Canadians of European origin and at the end of the war raised the problem of recognition. The allotment of lands seemed to bring a solution to these problems, but it ultimately proved a failure, since half of the new settlers did not succeed in their new life.
