Yes, sure.
During National Veterans Week, the first week in November, more and more indigenous veterans are volunteering to give presentations in schools. The goal of the presentations is really to talk to young schoolkids about the indigenous contributions in the first and second World Wars. Given that it has perhaps been poorly taught in the media, we are making up for lost time today. We are telling indigenous communities, and the students, that their parents and grandparents served in the First World War or the Second World War.
In my own community, there is a cemetery. I go there sometimes, but it was only a few years ago that I discovered some commemorative monuments there. The monuments are dedicated to those who served in the First World War and the Second World War.
Today, we have the opportunity to appear in schools and teach our young people about that. Everything we are going to teach is indigenous. We all experienced it in Vimy during the sunrise ceremony, an indigenous tradition. When we held that ceremony, the aim was to free the spirits of all the veterans who lost their lives at the battle of Vimy Ridge, during the First World War. The aim of the ceremony was to allow their spirits to return to their communities and their families.
