Fort Talkers: The History of Indigenous Military Service

Indigenous people of the United States have participated in every war or military conflict in our country’s history and have the highest rates of military service in proportion to every other ethnic group in the country. In Virginia, Tribes have a deep history of military service that goes back to before the Revolutionary War.
