    The Great War brings together all Canadian citizens to fight for their country through co-operation and patriotism. Yet, although all citizens participate in the war effort both in battle and at the home front, it is indisputable that some groups are acknowledged less or not at all. History reasons that during a time of great discrimination, racism, and obvious disrespect, British, white men receive greater commemoration for their contributions. Thus for previous disregard, minorities such as Aboriginals, African Canadians and French Canadians finally receive gratitude. When historians look back today, one minority undoubtedly deserves the greatest recognition for their sacrifices to the country, in which recognition refers to the minority…

These settlers brought different ideologies, convictions, religion and diseases, to the Indigenous peoples. There were frequent clashes between the settlers and the Natives over land rights and usage, religious and cultural differences, and, especially, broken treaties (Calloway 3). Some tribes embraced the new ideas and began to incorporate them into their own culture, while other tribes rejected them entirely (Calloway 4). It is not possible to understand the history of the United States without acknowledging the “very long history, cultural diversity, and enduring presence of America’s indigenous peoples (Calloway iii).…
