More than 7,000 First Nations members served in the First and Second World Wars and the Korean War, and an unknown number of Inuit, Métis and other Indigenous people also participated. One Veterans' group estimates that 12,000 Indigenous peo- ple served in the three wars. On each occasion, indigenous members of the armed forces overcame cultural chal- lenges and made impressive sacrifices and contributions to help the nation in its efforts to restore world peace. The National Indigenous Veterans Monument in Ottawa honours their contributions. The Veterans Affairs website's states; "They served with honour and distinction in all branch- es of the service and in every rank and appoint- ment from Private to Brigadier...Their heroic acts earned many decorations for bravery as well as the respect and enduring friendship of their comrades in arms. Hundreds from across Canada gave fully of their lives so that all Canadians might know peace and inherit freedom." Erected in 2001, the National Indigenous Veterans Monument is located in Confederation Park on the East side Elgin Street across from the Lord Elgin Hotel between Laurier Avenue West and Slater Street in Ottawa, Ontario.
