First Nations

First Nations: The manner in which First Nations people pay tribute to their veterans might help us carry this appreciation in our hearts for more than just this one, most important day. , according to Winnipeg Free Press. "A warrior does not judge his or her greatness by the goals they have set for themselves but by the obstacles which they have overcome. Those obstacles provide an opportunity for a warrior to prove greatness and they are welcomed as a test to prove that one is worthy of being a warrior." WITH Remembrance Day nearly upon us, we will try to remember the great sacrifices made by the veterans of two world wars. Many of us have only known peace and now face our own mortal end free from the horrors of combat and sudden death. But on Nov. 11, we will try to remember, and be grateful for those who have fallen for us. First Nations people show respect, gratitude and tribute for their veterans at all of their gatherings year-round. Those who have gone before or who have made the greatest sacrifices always lead the grand entry at powwows and conferences where First Nations and M tis people gather to celebrate history and culture or to discuss matters of vital interest and make important decisions.
