In honour of Indigenous Veterans and my father, Reginal Alfred Devonshire and mother, Irene Sarah Cole, I have created a book about Tyendinaga community member, Huron Eldon Brant. In collaboration with Canadian Encyclopedia, Historica Canada and the Library and Archives/Department of National Defense, the story combines the telling of Huron Brant’s bravery with historical information, as well as facts about the struggles that Indigenous Veterans face. A special thank you to my dear friend, Wendy Gray for her talented artwork and design layout and to my wonderful cousin, Charles Bamlett, Major Retired, for the book printing. 100% of book sale proceeds are being donated to Indigenous Veterans.

Land & Treaty Acknowledgement
I would like to acknowledge the spirit of the land and waters and the spirit of friendship among the Mississauga, Huron, Haudenosaunee and all Great Lakes First Nations. I would also like to recognize our wampum treaties, which were designed to protect, preserve and share the land, waters and resources in perpetuity among all peoples. Together, let’s remember and honour these treaties the way they were originally intended.
