Today, our warriors include those who are enlisted in the armed forces, police officers, firefighters and first responders.
It was only natural that when war broke out in Europe, our people would enlist to protect the country. There was little active recruiting for First Nations warriors for the First World War, but when the Nazi aggression became obvious the call went out for First Nations warriors.Article content
War comes with a terrible cost and the mothers of fallen soldiers would receive the silver cross. In 1972, Mary Louise McLeod of the Chippewas of Nawash First Nation in Ontario was the National Silver Cross Mother. In the States, Nov. 11 is called Veterans Day. A speaker at the festival stated that half of America’s homeless were Vietnam vets.

Leading as a First-Time, First-Generation ManagerWhile there’s extensive research on the glass ceiling and how to break it, there’s less talk about its close relative, the “concrete wall” — a set of obstacles that keep BIPOC professionals, especially women, from securing high-level positions. So, what happens when you finally chip away at the wall and move into a managerial position for the first time? What should you do if you’re the first person in your family to navigate this new opportunity? Star from within. Confidence is a cornerstone of leadership. Whenever you feel unsure of yourself as a new leader, take a moment to remember the unique upbringing and point of view that got you to where you are today. Use your strengths to build a foundation of confidence. Then, add to it. Emulate the leadership styles of mentors or managers you admire. Observe them, ask for their advice, and take on the traits that resonate with you most. Get comfortable relinquishing control of the details and ask for help when you need it. This may be tough if you’re used to doing it all. While it can be hard to let go and stop exercising the technical skills that made you a great candidate in the first place, being a manager requires a new level of support — more listening and guiding others than doing. Finally, seek to build community on your team. Schedule weekly one-on-ones with each of your direct reports and use a part of this time to better understand how their personal lives affect how they show up to work. The goal is to make them feel seen, appreciated, and heard as a human being, not just a “worker.”
