The statue, commemorating a local First Nations soldier, the most highly decorated First Nations soldier for bravery in Canadian military history and the most effective sniper of World War I.
A bronze likeness of Company Sergeant-Major (CSM) Francis Pegahmagabow was unveiled in 2016, just a short drive from Sgt Pegahmagabow’s birthplace at Wasauksing First Nation.
The monument was created by Tyler Fauvelle, a sculptor based in Sudbury, Ontario. The statue, which stands approximately three metres tall, depicts CSM Pegahmagabow in his wartime uniform with an eagle above and a caribou at his side.
