I was going to say the same thing as CLive. Although he wanted, in his military years, to show that a Native could be every bit as good as a white man, he later fell into the stereotypes of the Manitoba Native.
The Native shown has the suit along with a little too much bling to fit the profile of Tommy Prince. I believe he sold off his medals for peanuts back in those days. However, after his death, the family felt they should be returned. In the end, if I recall, a lawyer put up the money to purchase them at auction and gave them back to the family.
A duplicate set of the medals resides at the Sr NCOs mess in 2VP, or at least they did.
Perhaps one of the worst pages of tripe (which in my mind truly dishonours this veteran) I have ever read anywhere can be found on Tommy Price here:

Clive: are you looking for any more writers for your book series?
