I’m currently working on a research project regarding the number of Canadian indigenous veterans who’ve served on overseas conflicts.
I have a rough idea. Many sources say approximately 7000, and I’ve figured out there’s been about 3500-4000 in WWI, 3000 WWII, and 72-“several hundred” in Korea. I know there were some in the Boer war but have found little evidence to support. Furthermore I have been unable to find much information regarding more recent wars up to present day.
So I’m throwing this out there in case any historians have undertaken similar research, or know of sources.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks!!!
