    Buckam Singh and Sikh Canadians in the First World War

    The names of ten Sikh Canadians have been found among military records of the First World War. Among them, eight served in Europe, two of whom were killed in action and one of whom, Buckam Singh, died shortly after returning to Canada. The discovery of Buckam Singh’s Victory Medal led to his reclamation by the Sikh community, which commemorates him with an annual Remembrance Day service.

    Sikhism in Canada

    Sikhism, a major world religion, arose through the teachings of Guru Nanak (circa 1469–1539) in the Punjab region of India. There are about 27 million Sikhs worldwide, making Sikhism the fifth largest religion. Sikhs (disciple or "learner of truth"), like Jews, are distinguished both as a religion and as an ethnic group. Though in principle universalistic and open to converts regardless of background, Sikhism has been identified primarily with Punjabi people, events and culture. According to the 2021 Canadian census, 771,790 people reported being Sikh.

    Siksikáí’powahsin: Blackfoot Language

    Siksikáí’powahsin (commonly referred to as the Blackfoot language) is an Algonquian language spoken by four Blackfoot nations: the Siksiká (Blackfoot), Aapátohsipikani (North Piikani), Aamsskáápipikani (South Piikani) and Kainai (Blood). While there are some dialectal differences between these groups, speakers can generally understand one another. Blackfoot is an endangered language; since the 1960s, the number of new speakers has significantly decreased. The development of language programs and resources in Canada and the United States seek to preserve the language and promote it to new speakers.
