Exact numbers are not available for many reasons. The Department of Indian Affairs at the time did not track “Indian Enlistments” as closely as they should have and many men who enlisted were overlooked. As well, because the government department focussed on “status Indians,” many Natives who enlisted from the Metis people, Inuit and other groups, were not counted. As well, the government did not track Natives from Newfoundland and Labrador because they were not part of Canada at the time.

This guilt makes up decisions for Dunstan later on in the book. Right after the snowball accident, Mrs. Ramsay went over to the Dempster’s house to aid and support them.
That last part is normally not a problem for the 22 Minutes veteran, but this particular protest was in response to the Habs’ recent hiring of Randy Cunneyworth, so folks weren’t exactly lining up to chat with a unilingual Newfoundlander en anglais.
