Remembrance Day is a day to pause and honour those who served our country

To mark Remembrance Day, we’ve gathered a collection of stories from our Indigenous Languages Radio Archive. In these recordings you will hear First Nations, Métis and Inuit veterans share their experiences in their own languages.

We asked our cataloguers from the Indigenous Languages Archive project to choose some interviews that stood out to them and that they felt were important to share.
