He wasn't allowed to vote. He wasn't considered a citizen. But Francis Pegahmagabow became the deadliest sniper of the First World War—credited with 378 kills and over 300 prisoners captured.
Born Ojibwe on the shores of Georgian Bay, Pegahmagabow enlisted days after war was declared, carrying a medicine pouch an elder promised would keep him safe. For four years, he crawled through the nightmare landscapes of Ypres, the Somme, and Passchendaele, becoming a ghost the Germans could never catch.
This is the story of the most decorated Indigenous soldier in Canadian history—a man who fought two wars: one in the trenches of Belgium, and one against the government that refused to see him as equal.
