UM honours Indigenous Veterans Day and Remembrance Day
Shauna Mulligan, Métis PhD student in Indigenous Studies and Army Reserve Veteran, encourages everyone to honour veterans 365 days a year
As we observe National Indigenous Veterans Day and Remembrance Day, we pause to reflect on the sacrifices made by Canadian veterans and Indigenous peoples who served, often in the face of immense adversity. In a time when global conflict continues to impact lives, these days remind us of the enduring significance of sacrifice and resilience. Through stories, ceremonies, and moments of silence, we honour those who served, recognizing the freedoms we enjoy and the histories that have shaped them.
