Why did it take so long for World War II Aboriginal soldiers to receive recognition for their contribution to the war effort? How did the legacy of their suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and the reintegration policies of the Canadian government contribute to problems that remained unresolved decades later? Students should compare and contrast the treatment of WWII Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal soldiers with that of soldiers from the Korean War and the Afghanistan mission.
