Today, we observe Indigenous Veterans Day.

On this day, we recognize the contributions and sacrifices of First Nations, Métis and Inuit people in military service to this country.

There is a long history of Indigenous participation in Canada's military efforts, dating back to the War of 1812 and South African War. Indigenous people have bravely served in the First and Second World Wars, the Korean War, in NATO duties and in Afghanistan. Here in the North, the Canadian Rangers serve in remote locations supporting national security objectives, participate in search and rescue operations and more.

We also acknowledge the unfair treatment faced by Indigenous veterans; not only did their heroism go unrecognized, but many were denied their pensions, grants and benefits.

Today, we remember and honour them. We also encourage you to learn more about Indigenous Veterans and to read some of their stories here: veterans.gc.ca/en/remembrance/people-and-stories/indigenous-veterans ... See MoreSee Less

November 6, 2026,
Dear CAFN Citizens, as you know we are committed to providing updates at least weekly.
This week we were hoping to share with you that we have confirmed a CRO but we are still working on that. We do believe we are close to having a CRO hired though.
We are looking at scheduling a public meeting for all CAFN citizens and candidates to answer a number of questions. We will have that date confirmed for the next communication and we will ensure there is virtual options to join.
To re-cap what has been completed at this point
- We have secured legal support
- We have an arbitrator
- We will not be using electronic voting in this election
- All former votes are now void and we will have new ballots that we will use

We really appreciate those that have reached out with questions and we are doing our best to get answers as soon as we can. Please know we are working hard to get this election moving forward. Keep the questions coming and feel free to reach out.
Sincerely,
Tosh Southwick (Chair), Diane Strand, Jocelyn Joe-Strack, Brenda Asp (Alternate), Monica Primozic (Alternate)
