 Newfoundland Books A Way of Life that Does Not Exist Canada and the Extinguishment of the Innu Colin Samson
In the 1950s and ‘60s, the Innu were prompted by Canadian authorities to abandon permanent nomadic hunting, the way of life that had made them independent and self-reliant occupants of the sub-arctic.

By observing interactions between the Innu and the Euro-Canadian institutions imposed upon them, Colin Samson examines how the attempt to destroy the Innu way of life has actually operated.
