Join HCPL and the Minden Hills Cultural Centre for a special screening of Forgotten Warriors: The Story of Canada's Aboriginal War Veterans.

This documentary introduces us to thousands of Indigenous Canadians who enlisted and fought alongside their countrymen and women during World War II, even though they could not be conscripted. Ironically, while they fought for the freedom of others, they were being denied equality in their own country and returned home to find their land seized.

Loretta Todd's poignant film offers forth the testimony of those who were there, and how they managed to heal.

The screening will take place in the Welch Room starting at 1pm. No registration required. The film is provided courtesy of the NFB.
