We Answered the Call
A History of the Saskatchewan First Nations' Contribution to Canada's Freedom and Democracy
“I knew things weren’t going very well for the Veterans grants. I got ahold of Ivan Ahenakew, Tom Sapp, Solomon Mosquito, and a few guys like that. We slowly made progress. I used to speak for Indian Veterans. I thought they should get something for their labours. I would like to see us get something before we pass on. A lot of us are crippled or sickly because of the war. There are a lot of kids from us and a lot of them aren’t getting anything. You see, we earned all that is coming to us. We’re not just bumming. We paid our dues in the war.”“ Berton Baptiste, Little Pine First Nation
