A Legend
Upon doing some research on Native role models, I came across . I’m not sure role model is the right way to describe him. Legend seems more appropriate.
The bravery shown by this man defending a freedom, that as an Aboriginal man, he would never receive from Canada is flabbergasting. It is completely beyond my personal comprehension how a Native man in Canada could do this much for a country that treated him as a second-class citizen. I’m glad he did, as should every freedom loving person in Canada – I’m only sad that he died before I was born and I never had the privilege of meeting him.

Sgt Prince was not the only Native treated as a 2nd-class citizen. Read some literature about on Lance Corporal Francis Pegahmagabow from Wasauksing First Nation. Personally, as a First Nations aboriginal and a serving Canadian Forces non-commissioned member from the same reserve, I am not pleased with Canada’s treatment of natives, then and now.
