National Aboriginal Veterans Monument, War memorial in Confederation Park, Ottawa, Canada
The bronze monument features four human figures holding weapons and spiritual items, with animal spirits at its base and an eagle at the summit.
Unveiled in 2001, this memorial recognizes over 4000 Status Indians who served in the Canadian Expeditionary Force during the First World War.
The monument displays four cardinal animals - wolf, grizzly, buffalo, and caribou - representing spiritual guides in Aboriginal traditions of Canada.
Located at 100 Elgin Street in Ottawa, the monument stands in Confederation Park, opposite the Lord Elgin Hotel with public transportation access.
Artist Lloyd Pinay constructed the monument in separate pieces at his Prairie workshop before transporting them by rail to Ottawa for assembly.
