For me, it's when we do get indigenous members into the Canadian Armed Forces. For example, if we have a young fellow coming from Siksika First Nation out west and he wants to join the navy and they send him to Halifax, he brings his family with him. What they need to do is consider the families that are coming with them. They're working very hard to make sure that culture and spirituality is observed within the Canadian Armed Forces, but they're unintentionally leaving the families behind. Retention is a huge part, and they need to start including families, especially with the military family resource centres, including programs and mentorship within those organizations.
