Initially, the Canadian government rejected these offers based on the belief that status Indians were unsuited to modern, civilized warfare. But in 1915, Britain intervened and demanded Canada actively recruit Indian soldiers to meet the incessant need for manpower. Thus began the complicated relationships between the Imperial Colonial and War Offices, the Department of Indian Affairs, and the Ministry of Militia that would affect every aspect of the war experience for Canada's Aboriginal soldiers.In his groundbreaking new book, For King and Kanata,Timothy C. Winegard reveals how national and international forces directly influenced the more than 4,000 status Indians who voluntarily served in the Canadian Expeditionary Force between 1914 and 1919-a per capita percentage equal to that of Euro-Canadians-and how subsequent administrative policies profoundly affected their experiences at home, on the battlefield, and as returning veterans. 606 $aWorld War, 1914-1918$xParticipation, Indian 606 $aIndian veterans$zCanada$xHistory 615 0$aWorld War, 1914-1918$xParticipation, Indian. 615 0$aIndian veterans$xHistory. 676 $a940.3089/97071 700 $aWinegard$b Timothy C$g(Timothy Charles),$f1977-$01025690 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910814273903321 996 $aFor king and Kanata$94124577 997 $aUNINA
