    "The story of this singular society is like a chain stretching from the past into the future and formed with links of their experiences in both peace and war. I do not wish to attempt to tell over again the valiant history of Canada's Aboriginal peoples. What I think needs to be said is that it is imperative that the record of the loyal services of Aboriginal peoples be preserved for all time. We can only foster cross-cultural awareness through knowledge and understanding."
