As a Mi kmaw from Millbrook First Nation in Nova Scotia, he is one of a few Indigenous members who have made it to a commissioned rank in the force. When Carolyn Wagner joined the Mounties in 1986, the iconic bright-red serge and hat symbolized a path out of an unsatisfactory career with the Canadian military not the dark history many Indigenous communities have associated with the RCMP. The role the Mounties played in Canada s residential schooling system, for example, is not what we were taught in depot, Wagner said, referring to her training years. Rather, the RCMP presented itself as saviours of the Indigenous people.
