	Montagnais
		Montagnais and Naskapi today refer to themselves as the Innu, or "people." To avoid confusion, the Innu are NOT the same as the Inuit (Eskimo) who most Montagnais regarded as enemies.
		The Montagnais occupied the forest areas along the north shore of the St. Lawrence and were a woodland people, shifting routinely between summer villages near the river and winter hunting camps in the interior.
		This, the Montagnais and their allies were reluctant to do without assurances of French military support, so in July, 1609 Champlain accompanied a combined Montagnais, Algonkin, and Huron war party as it moved south along the shores of the lake in northern New York now bearing his name.

	Montagnais (Mashk/Ilnu/Innu) & Naskapi
		The Montagnais inhabited the huge territory bounded on the south by the St. Lawrence, on the west by the St-Maurice River, on the east by Sept-Iles and on the north by the watershed separating the rivers flowing into the St. Lawrence from those flowing into James Bay.
		Montagnais (also known as the Innuat, or Innu in the singular) also live in Labrador, which is considered a part of the province of Newfoundland.
		Montagnais communities have territories on the north shore of the Saint Lawrence River and the Gulf of Saint Lawrence; on the western shore of Lac Saint-Jean; and in the area near the Quebec-Labrador border and the municipality of Schefferville.

	Montagnais Language and the Montagnais Innu Nation (Innu-Aimun)
		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).
		Montagnais speakers call their own language Innu-Aimun, or Innu Aionun; since Naskapi speakers also call their language Innu-aimun, linguists tend to refer to the two languages as Montagnais Innu and Naskapi Innu for clarity's sake.

		The Montagnais covered their conical wigwams with birch bark and hunted principally moose during the winter months, moving down the rivers in the spring to spear salmon and eels, and to harpoon seals along the shores of the St. Lawrence.
		The Naskapi covered their wigwams with caribou skin and hunted caribou from midsummer until early spring, when some of them moved down the coast, like the Montagnais, while others remained inland to fish in various lakes and rivers and to hunt hares, porcupines, and other small game.
		Contact with Europeans was disastrous to both peoples, leading to a precipitous population decline, the disappearance of cooperative hunting on communally exploited territory, and the emergence of an economy based on private property, fur trapping, and commercial exchange.
