Were Indigenous People treated differently compared to white people when attempting to join WWI?

# data[].attributes.body
Indigenous People were allowed to serve, but the army was quite hesitant on letting them in. This was because they were afraid that"Germans might refuse to extend to them the privileges of civilized warfare." In 1915, 200 Indigenous soldiers managed to enlist and by the end of the war, an estimated 4000 First Nations men were enlisted. Indigenous People enlisted at the same percentage as non-Indigenous People which means they were not discriminated against as much as Black People when they tried to enlist.

First Nations people were exempt from conscription because they were not considered “citizens” of Canada and did not have the right to vote. They were told the serve you must be “of pure European descent”. On top of that after war they did not receive the same assistance as the other returned soldiers under the war of veterans allowance act.

Despite efforts of indigenous people to stop the use of their land, the federal government appropriated 313,398 acres of reserve land. They also sold land to  the Soldier Settlement Board for the purpose of farming. Indigenous people that enlisted in the war and were gone from their reserve for more than 4 years were no longer considered Indians under the Indian act, meaning that many Indigenous people that enlisted lost their Indian status when they returned home.

What was the daily life like as an Aboriginal soldier in WW1

# data[].attributes.body
In WW1, there were about 4000 aboriginal soldiers who served in that war. It was hard for them at first because most of them didn't speak English or French and they had little contact with Canadians outside of their communities. Even though it was rough for them at the start, they quickly became valuable members of their company. Most Aboriginal people served as snippers or reconnaissance scouts which are one of the most hazardous roles in the military. In the end tough, 50 Aboriginal people were awarded medals for their contribution to the war.
