	DIVERSITY WATCH - Ryerson University School of Journalism
		Innu began to show up on the coast in a starving condition, seeking assistance from missionaries, traders, nursing stations, and the government.
		By the 1950s the growing dependence of the Innu on government services and social assistance had the effect of restricting them to the vicinity of the villages, with unfortunate results for their society and culture.
		A study was released by Innu Chief Simeon Tshakapesh in late 2000 that showed 154 of 169 youths in the Davis Inlet had abused solvents at some point in their lives.

		Innu Nation is seeking full disclosure from the Canadian military and its European Allies on the full scope of proposed changes to the types of training now being conducted over Innu traditional territory.
		The Innu Nation is presently engaged in treaty negotiations with the federal and provincial governments to provide for formal recognition of its aboriginal title to lands in Labrador and to allow its members to continue their cultural existence on Nitassinan (Innu Land).
		The Innu took this action as a last recourse only after all the available information indicated that the Panel was biased in favour of DND and was not really interested in studying the impacts of the training in a scientific manner.

	Innu - Ethnos - Books about the Innu People
		The Innu people are sometimes sub-divided into two communities, the Montagnais ["mountain people" in French] who live along the shore of the Gulf of Saint Lawrence, and the less numerous Naskapi ["inland people" in Innu-aimun] who live farther North.
		However, the Innu themselves dislike these terms, and according to most sources the distinction is anyway largely an artificial one invented by the French colonisers.
		Survival International have alleged that the Canadian government's policy of relocating the Innu away from their ancestral lands and preventing them from practising their ancient way of life is in contravention of international law, and they have drawn parallels with the Chinese government's treatment of Tibetans.

	Innu fight for survival and Nitassinan : ICT [2005/12/30]
		Innu elders, chiefs and their legal counsel and MacKenzie took their complaint to the United Nations in the early 1990s, citing numerous human rights violations and arguing for the right of indigenous peoples to self-determination.
		Innu communities that once thrived by trapping, fishing and hunting caribou are now suffering social ills common on Indian reservations in the United States - extreme poverty, pervasive unemployment, increased violence, alcoholism, drug abuse, and the loss of language and cultural skills.
		When Innu burial grounds were going to be flooded, they exhumed the remains of her relatives and sent them to Montreal to study the bones.

		The Montagnais and Naskapi are actually part of the same Indian nation, calling themselves Innu; their languages, however, have diverged enough that most linguists consider them separate languages (though some do class Naskapi as a dialect of Montagnais, or both as dialects of the Cree language).

		They can be traced back to 1967 when the Innu gave up the remnants of their nomadic culture to settle in half-built houses on the northeast coast of Labrador.
		But the Innu had difficulties adjusting from their traditional nomadic way of life in the mainland to a settled existence on the island.
		In the late 1960s, the Innu completed their settlement on the northeast coast of Labrador in the communities of Davis Inlet and nearby Sheshatshiu.

	Innu
		The Innu nation, which has close to 15,170 members, is one of the most populous aboriginal nations in Québec, ranking second in number.
		Prior to the 20th century, the Innu were almost the sole inhabitants of an immense territory which extends up to 600 kilometres inland along the Côte-Nord.
		The Innu communities are very different from one another, whether in terms of their geographical location and their size or their socioeconomic development: stores and businesses, outfitting establishments, hunting, traditional fishing and commercial fishing (salmon rivers).

	Innu \| Survival International
		During the 1950s and 1960s, the nomadic Innu were pressured into settling in fixed communities by the Canadian government and Catholic church.
		Many of the Innu are still fighting to retain much of their traditional lifestyle, increasingly difficult as the government hands out their land in mining concessions, floods the heart of their territory for hydro power schemes, and builds roads which cut up the remainder.
		Survival is calling on the Canadian government to rethink its approach to negotiations with the Innu and other similar groups - currently they will only recognise Innu land rights if the Innu agree to surrender most of their land.

		There is no doubt that the commitment to the relocation of the Mushuau Innu and the building of the new community of Natuashish is one of the most significant actions taken by the Government for the Innu.
		The Innu respond that "capacity development" of this sort is not the type of expertise that gets to the heart of the major social, health and spiritual problems that beset their communities, and that participating in these activities displaces time and energy sorely needed to address more fundamental matters.
		The relocation of the Mushuau Innu, the economic development currently occurring, the potential of projects such as Voisey’s Bay and the commitment of the current Innu leadership all provide an opportunity that must not be lost.

		Effective today, Innu Nation will be removing nets from the Kenamu River, Kenamish-Carter Basin area, the North West River estuary and the Rapids between Little Lake and Grand Lake that are not identified as belonging to LIA or Innu Nation members, or set in accordance with Innu and Inuit communal salmon fishing regulations.
		Innu Nation has also been in discussions with DFO to pilot alternative harvesting techniques, including salmon traps in the place of gill nets.
		Innu Nation continues to call on the Minister of Fisheries and Ocean to reverse the decision to increase the harvesting pressure on salmon stocks, and to work with the Innu Nation and the LIA to ensure that the subsistence salmon fishery is managed in accordance with the principle of conservation.

	Canadian Human Rights Commission :: Resources :: Publications :: Reports
		In this regard, some Innu are concerned that the completion of the side agreement on Voisey’s Bay, and the prospect of completing one in the future on the Lower Churchill project, will cause the Government to lose interest in completing the full land claims negotiations.
		In the context of this report, the question, in our view, is whether Canada’s treatment of the Innu might be viewed as failing to allow them to "freely pursue their economic, social and cultural development" as contemplated in article 1 of the covenants and article 3 of the Draft Declaration.
		The point made by the Innu is that the "best interests" of the Innu children and their "well-being" had simply faded into the background.

	The History of the Innu Nation
		In 1918, 40 Innu died of smallpox and are buried in the Voisey's Bay area.
		While the federal and provincial governments were eager to settle the Innu in coastal communities so as to assimilate them into the mainstream of Canadian society, the the Innu "were ready for settlement" due to disease, starvation, and loss of land to European settlement and resource extraction.
		The Innu language and culture were introduced to the school curriculum to counter the negative messages conveyed to them in the regular curriculum that relegated their culture to the dustbins of history.

	Statement by INNU
		Three Innu – Napes Ashini and Shapatish and Katneen Malak – were invited to Europe to speak at the launch of the report.
		Whilst it was clear that the report had succeeded in pushing the Innu’s treatment to the top of political agenda, no government spokesperson would address the report’s main conclusion – that the policy under which Canada negotiates indigenous land ‘claims’ is fundamentally biased against the Indigenous Peoples.
		But officials’ true attitude towards the Innu was revealed in the reply sent out by the Newfoundland authorities to the thousands of Survival members who wrote letter of protest.

	Samson - A Way of Life that Does Not Exist
		The Innu (also known as Montagnais-Naskapi Indians; not to be confused with their neighbors, the Inuit) live, hunt, and travel in a vast territory that they know as Nitassinan (lit., "our land") stretching from the St. Lawrence River north to Ungava Bay and east to the coast of Labrador.
		Although there is no doubt that many Innu clearly value their hunting way of life and continue to resist the many colonial impositions in their lives, there are a range of differing strategies, dissonant opinions, and inconvenient facts that are simply omitted from Samson's account.
		Apparently, the only outsider who understands Innu on their own terms is Samson himself, whereas a number of characters, including "the anthropologist" who has been an advocate for Innu for nearly twenty years, are subjected to ad hominem attacks.
