The Alberta Indian War Veterans Society was first incorporated in 1982. It was re-incorporated on May 2, 1992. The goal of the Society was to assist Indigenous war veterans. To this end, in 1992 the AIWVS applied for intervener status and submitted a report to the Royal Commission on Aboriginal Peoples. To acquire funding AIWVS applied for support from the Indian Association of Alberta and the Native Council of Canada. RCAP also funded the AIWVS to do a survey of surviving war veterans in Alberta. As a result the AIWVS identified 74 veterans. The AIWVS submitted its report to the RCAP in September 28, 1993.
