Today, the AFN will observe a moment of silence to reflect on the brave sacrifices made by First Nations Soldiers and Veterans. #LestWeForget#RemembranceDay
On #IndigenousVeteransDay, the AFN remembers and honours all #FirstNations Veterans who bravely served and sacrificed in protection of our homelands across Turtle Island.
A reminder to non-Indigenous folks: this week is going to be exhausting for a lot of Indigenous people with this new day of reconciliation. People will expect us to share our traumas so others can learn. This is emotional labor that's very difficult. Please be kind and patient.
September 30 is the National Day for Truth & Reconciliation – but this takes #MoreThanOneDay. This month and every month, AFN encourages all Canadians to learn about our shared history and the action required to build a #HealingPathForward.
On International Day of the World’s Indigenous Peoples, it’s important for all Canadians to be aware that #FirstNations priorities are Canada’s priorities, and we must work together to build a brighter common future for all. #LeavingNoOneBehind
Let’s also remember this today: Many status Indian soldiers had to become enfranchised before they could sign up to fight in the Second World War, which meant that when they returned to their home communities, they no longer had Indian status. #AboriginalVeteransDay
