For King and Kanata

For King and Kanata: Canadian Indians and the First World War by Timothy C Winegard, a former officer in the Canadian Forces, presents a comprehensive history of Indigenous peoples and the First World War. The book examines the wartime experience of First Nations, Inuit, and Métis people both in active service and at home. Chapter seven focuses on the contributions of individuals such as Francis Pegahmagabow, Tom Longboat, and Edith Anderson Monture. The book presents the larger picture of Indigenous peoples and their relationships to the British in earlier conflicts, and celebrates their overwhelming contributions to the Canadian war effort despite many challenges.
