The First Warrior Project is archiving the images and stories of one hundred American Indian War Veterans to represent the tradition of Indian warriors and illuminate the heritage of America’s First People—the First Warriors.  The exhibit presents dramatic, photographic images of the individual soldiers accompanied by a short narrative of their personal heroism. The legends of these respected soldiers will transcend ethnic boundaries.  For the first time in American history honor and recognition will be bestowed upon all of our Indian Warriors. Not just for the American Indian, but for people, and veterans of the world.
