Episode 26: Remembrance Day with General Joe Paul

Ahkameyimok Podcast with Perry Bellegarde

To mark Remembrance Day, Major General Joe Paul, the highest ranking First Nations officer in the Canadian Armed Forces, joins National Chief Perry Bellegarde on the podcast. They discuss; the significance of the unveiling of the portrait of First Nations D-Day hero Philip Favel at the Canadian War Museum, the historic role of First Nations in the Canadian military and conflicts, and how that has changed dramatically in General Paul's thirty-two year career and his combat experience in Afghanistan.

A big thanks goes out to the Red Dog Singers of Treaty 4 Territory in Saskatchewan for our theme music.
