Mahekan Ahenakew, who served in Afghanistan, emphasizes the importance of acknowledging sacrifices made by Indigenous veterans and shares his journey of survival training. Evan Taypotat, now an honorary colonel, highlights the unequal benefits for Indigenous veterans, while Cy Standing recalls his service in the Royal Canadian Air Force and the cultural connections he made during his travels.
