21-Gun Salute for our Indigenous veterans second pic is my auntie , she organized the event in our community the fourth picture is our last ww 2 veteran in our community , 20191108_121856.mp4 National Aboriginal Veterans Day began in Winnipeg in 1994 when Indigenous veterans were not recognized in Remembrance Day activities, and is now celebrated in many communities across Canada. Over 12,000 Indigenous people are estimated to have volunteered in all three wars, including 7,000 First Nations members, and approximately 300 died during these conflicts. First Nations, Inuit and Metis people were not eligible for conscription because they were not citizens of Canada (they were also unable to vote), but many volunteered despite the challenges they faced, including traveling long distances from remote communities to enlist, learning a new language (English), and coping with racism against them. Indigenous people were not allowed to join the Canadian Air Force until 1942 and the Canadian Navy until 1943. Both men and women enlisted, serving as soldiers, nurses and in other roles. Many served with distinction, winning medals for bravery in action. After the war, enlisted Indigenous people returned home to continued discrimination, including in some cases denial of benefits, loss of Indian Status, and expropriation of their land by the government for non-Indigenous veterans. It was only in 1995 that Indigenous veterans were allowed to lay wreaths commemorating their fallen comrades at the National War Memorial in Ottawa. The first monument commemorating the role of Indigenous people during these three wars was dedicated in 2001 in Ottawa. It took until 2003 for the Government of Canada to provide veterans’ benefits to First Nations soldiers who had been denied them in the past, and Metis veterans have never received them. Today, Indigenous people continue to serve in Canada’s armed forces.

Oh! I am the one, Orgasmatron The outstretched grasping hand My image is of agony My servants rape the land Obsequious and arrogant Clandestine and vain Two thousands years of misery Of torture in my name Hypocrisy made paramount Paranoia the law My name is called religion Sadistic, sacred whore I twist the truth, I rule the world My crown is called deceit I am the emperor of lies You grovel at my feet I rob you and I slaughter you Your downfall is my gain And still you play the sycophant And revel in your pain And all my promises are lies All my love is hate I am the politician And I decide your fate I march before a martyred world An army… soooooo gewd <3 no offence <3
