We take a look at the large number of Native Americans have served in our military.

A large number of Native Americans have served in our nation’s military. Many may know of the Code Talkers in World Wars One and Two, but there are thousands of other Native Americans who have, and continue to serve in our nation’s armed forces. After decades of persecution, why would Indigenous People want to risk their lives for a country that has treated them so unfairly?
