Fascinated since childhood by the Native American world, i'm started in 2000 research on Native Americans Veterans when i see a short article in a magazine with the Native American engagement in the American army during the first World War.
Originally from the Pas de Calais, in the Vimy sector, Canadian major victory in April 1917, he first begins to identify Native Canadians of both world wars.
In October 2002, i founded the Research Association of Native Americans Veterans (ARACA in french) to fund research and to know this part of the story too often forgotten.
Immigrating to Canada in 2005, i continued research, the association continues to live in France.
Today, research is focusing on all the native american served in the armed forces.
In 2018, the searches reach 154,000 names found - 37,000 documents - 20,000 graves - 12,000 medals.
I unpack all the myths that exist on the subject by doing extensive research and recreating the database.
I go back to all the sources cited to correct the many mistakes on the subject of aboriginal veterans. I do not make a copy past of book or text, I compile data and I establish my data from that.
I am a recipient of the Diamond Jubilee Medal and the Sovereign's Medal.
