  1. i'm watching/listening to the Finland-Slovakia bronze hockey final, and this is my first time hearing a play-by-play commentary by innu commentators

    cree and inuktitut phonemes blended in together with québecoise french expressions is absolutely beautiful to listen to. i'm guessing these speakers are from eastern Nunavut or northern Québec

  2. Told entirely from a #ChildsPerspective, Ninan Auassat: We, the Children is a powerful and immersive #documentary that reveals the dreams of a new generation ready to take flight. Renowned for her intimate and compelling films, director Kim O’Bomsawin takes us deep into the world of #IndigenousYouth , capturing the stories of #children from the #Atikamekw , #EeyouCree and #Innu Nations over a period of more than six years. Without adult narration or expert commentary, the film offers an unfiltered look at #childhood as it unfolds, from everyday life to defining moments on the path to #adulthood. It’s a bold cinematic statement—one that gives space to a generation eager to be heard. Their voices ring out, not just as personal stories, but as a call to action, demanding recognition and the chance to thrive on their own terms.

    [Translated article - original en Français ] The #Innu claim one of the last remaining active US salmon fishing clubs

    Jean-Louis Bordeleau
    to Sept-Isles
    June 15, 2025

    "About 60 Uashat-Maliotenam Innu led by their newly elected leader, this Saturday, occupied one of the region’s last American-owned salmon fishing clubs. At the beginning of the tourist season, they tried to dislodge the owners of Camp Adams, installed since 1907 on the largest intact river on the North Shore.

    "Twenty boats left on Saturday at noon from the downstream of the Moisie River to go up the current and join the private domain a few kilometers above. Kupaniesh drove one of these boats.

    " 'My grandfather never saw the camp. This is the first time I've landed and I see what it looks like. It is an injustice from generation to generation. '

    "The Innu claim one of the last remaining active US salmon fishing clubs
    The Innu gang thus landed without warning and settled on the perrons and houses in the estate, causing discomfort among the employees. By breaking the legal ban and standing in front of the disgruntled guards, Chief Jonathan Shetush removed the flag in place to replace it with his band council. He handed over the stripped-out banner to the camp director, Dominik Bujold, in a tense face-to-face."

  5. Chief #JonathanShetush: “It’s a private field of New York City #billionaires, #shareholders, and lawyers, NHL hockey team owners,” said the sworn chef for the first time last week. “It is not normal for Americans to still own the Mishta-Shipu River by 2025. I want Quebec to buy back the club and give it back to the Innu so that it is managed by Innus, with our own fishing codes, our own values, respect for salmon, all that. ”

  6. I watched this 2019 #Indigenous #film, in its original Innu Aimun and French. Loved it.
    Takes place mainly in the #Innu community of Uashat-Maliotenam (around Sept-Îles, #Quebec). Loved the style, and depth. Watch it.

  7. From my research: an array of different solar symbols on Innu painted caribou belongings. The images span more than 200 years of tradition. 🤩

  8. A pattern of government and corporate abuse! Who are they looking out for? Why profit! Don't believe the spin! #Greenwashing is just a PR gimmick!

    Power Grab: #Quebec vs. the #Innu Nation

    Behind the scenes, Quebec has fought for years to weaken Indigenous authority over their own land. Now that battle is spilling out into the public.

    by Christopher Curtis, Mar 13, 2023

    "The Innu territory is a sprawling landmass home to a rapidly declining herd of #caribou, some of the best #salmon fishing in North America and a people who’ve thrived there since time immemorial. It also happens to have vast deposits of rare metals and rivers wide enough to power our cities for generations."

  9. From 2020. Don't believe that #QuebecHydro are for preserving nature, or the will of the voters, or respecting #NativeAmerican rights. They are all about making a buck!

    Indigenous group launch $4B lawsuit over huge hydro power project

    by Marc Montgomery, October 7, 2020

    "The #Innu say the project, begun in the late 1960’s and completed in the 1970’s, has flooded a vast area of ancestral lands causing #environmental and #cultural harm to their people.

    "In a statement, Innu Grand Chief Etienne Rich said, 'Over 50 years ago, #HydroQuébec and the provincial utility in #Newfoundland and #Labrador now called #NalcorEnergy, through the Churchill Falls (Labrador) Corporation, stole our land and flooded it in order to take advantage of the enormous hydro potential of the #ChurchillFalls,' adding, 'This project was undertaken without consulting us and without our consent'.

    "The Innu leaders said the flooded area of over 5,000 sq/km has covered traditional #BurialGrounds, hunting areas, #caribou migration paths and habitat for wildlife they depend on. They also said there was no #environmental assessment of the mega project, the second largest power generation project in #Canada, and among the biggest in the world."
