Events & Training Calendar

SGEU's Indigenous Committee is proud to present a special screening of Forgotten Warriors (1997) in honour of Indigenous Veterans day.

This documentary introduces us to thousands of Indigenous Canadians who enlisted and fought alongside their countrymen and women during World War II, even though they could not be conscripted. As a reward for service, veterans were allowed to buy land at a cheap price. However, many Indigenous soldiers were never told about the land entitlement, and some returned home to find the government had seized parts of their reserve lands to compensate non-Indigenous veterans.

Narrator Tootoosis gives a historical overview, while Indigenous veterans share their poignant and unforgettable war memories, and the ways in which they have healed.

Loretta Todd's poignant film offers forth the testimony of those who were there, and how they managed to heal.
