Why We Serve: Native Americans in the United States Armed Forces
A Book Review
Thursday, November 26, 2020
As tribal members we are familiar with our own Veterans including those of yesteryears up to our current military heroes and we are taught from a young age to honor them. But have you ever wondered about other Tribes and their veterans?
We all know that Native Americans have served in the U.S. military at the highest rate per capita for any ethnicity. And we know of a few from other Tribes, for example Ira Hayes, Pima. Iwo Jima flag raiser and his tragic end.
Sadly, we do not generally know about the thousands who have served from other Tribes, nor about their participation in wars going back to revolutionary days. We are never taught that in school.
