Subject: RE: BS: Justice for the Gurkhas
BB,


I assume by first nation you mean what I have referred to as Native American.

I knew of the "comanche code" in the pacific during the war against the Japanese, (I think it was Comanche anyway - correct me if it wasn't) and I've seen a programme about a guy who went back to france to see if he could find some diamonds he and his Sioux (I think) friend buried in a forest during WWII. The story and the partnership with the friend (who was killed) clearly meant more to the guy than the diamonds ever could, but they represented proof of an adventure they had shared alone.

I'll try to find a link.

But beyond that my knowledge of the "first Nation" contribution is non existent.
