Virginia Pechawis was one of 22 Indigenous women who served in the Second World War. At the age of 18, she left the Mistawasis First Nation to enlist at a Canadian Army office 80 km from home. Without telling her family, she joined the army near the end of the war. #NIHM2024 1/3 https://t.co/8Ogt4elMZd
