However, another large chunk of this growing population would fall prey to another harsh time of the Western world – World War II. In fact, 44,000 Native American individuals participated in the war.

This represented more than ten percent of their entire population. While they played a huge role and many won medals for their service and bravery, their stories are quite often forgotten.
