An estimated 4,000 Indigenous soldiers enlisted across Canada in the First World War. In Eastern Canada, Mi'kmaq and Malisset sent nearly half of their eligible male population. Many details of their stories have been lost to time but records help tell the story of Stephen Toney, a Mi'kmaw cooper-turned-sniper.
