	Naskapi of the Labrador Peninsula (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		The Naskapi are an ever-changing population, affected by “high mortality and birth rates (Mailhot, 1986).” Territory and band composition are constantly changing to adapt to the demanding, harsh environment on the tundra plains of the interior, where caribou hunting takes place half the year.
		A frequent routine of the Naskapi to combat the unpredictable caribou hunt was the early departure of men without their families into the interior to find and hunt the caribou.
		Naskapi subsistence relies on everyone having equal access to resources of the group, allowing great mobility of individuals and their families, both geographically and culturally.

		And the principle concern of the Naskapis also is the socio-economic impacts of the Voisey's Bay development project with respect to section D where Naskapis have outfitting camps in the George River area and near the Labrador border.
		The Naskapis pleaded that the regulations under the federal Migratory Birds Convention Act were not applicable to them because of their constitutionally entrenched Aboriginal rights to hunt in Labrador at any time of the year.
		In 1995, the Naskapis Band of Quebec submitted a comprehensive Aboriginal land claim covering lands in Labrador extending north from Churchill River to the Hebron area and in northern Labrador from the Labrador-Quebec boundary to the coast.

		The Naskapi Band also believe the mandate of the Commission should be extended to cover the Northeastern Quebec Agreement, even though there is a dispute resolution mechanism in their new Implementation Agreement with the federal government to deal with NEQA issues.
		The Naskapis also felt that the wording of Section 165(1)(b) of the Act, though it does not refer specifically to the financing of Bands for local government purposes, is sufficiently broad to allow the Commission to investigate a financing issue brought before it.
		The former Naskapi Chief said with an air of resignation that, at the very least, the biennial reports do demonstrate both the types of problems the Naskapis and the Crees are facing and the fact that the federal government does nothing about them.

		Forced to adopt a nomadic way of life and to follow the caribou during its migration, and benefiting from the self-sufficiency associated with this activity, the Naskapis long resisted the idea of participating in the fur trade.
		In 1978, the Naskapis signed the Northeastern Québec Agreement by virtue of which they are the exclusive owners of a 326.3 km2 territory.
		The Société de développement des Naskapis ensures the community’s socioeconomic development through the operation of an outfitting establishment, a mall, an arts and crafts store and a construction company, as well as by providing road maintenance services.

	The Naskapi Nation History
		It was difficult for the Naskapis to integrate commercial trapping, especially of marten in Winter, into their seasonal round of subsistence activities, for the simple reason that the distribution of marten was in large measure different from the distribution of essential sources of food at that season.
		In consequence, the Naskapis did not prove to be the regular and diligent trappers that the traders must have hoped to find, and the traders seem to have attributed this fact to laziness or intransigence on the part of Naskapis.
		Initially, the Naskapis lived in tiny shacks that they built for themselves, but by 1962 Indian and Northern Affairs had built 30 houses for them, and a further four were under construction at a cost of 5 000$ each.

		The arrival of Europeans directly altered the lives of those Montagnais and Naskapis who dealt directly with the newcomers, and it indirectly affected all members of the group.
		The Naskapis, however, settled at Davis Inlet, Labrador, when the caribou on which they depended failed to return to Indian House Lake in the fall of 1916.
		In the middle of the twentieth century, the decline in the Montagnais-Naskapi population that had begun with the arrival of the Europeans was reversed.

	Naskapi Language and the Naskapi Indian Tribe (Naskaupi, Innu-aimun)
		The Naskapi and Montagnais 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).
		Naskapi is spoken by members of two Innu communities in Quebec and Labrador (Kawawachikamach and Mushuau, respectively).
		The Montagnais identified some of their neighbors as Naskapi, variously said to mean 'interior people' or 'shabby dressers,' and from then on the Europeans treated them as two different tribes.

		Indeed J. Burgesse has shown that the “Eskimos” in the first register of births, marriages, and deaths of the Tadoussac domain were Papinachois or Naskapis (of the Algonkian family).
		One might more readily believe that Acoutsina and her people were Beothuks, the true “Red Indians” who lived in Newfoundland; these disappeared entirely with Shawandithit* who died in captivity in 1829, when a belated effort was being made to save this ethnic group; unfortunately no other Beothuks was ever discovered.
		They had in their service Montagnais Indians who spoke a dialect closely allied to that of the Naskapis, and who could not have been mistaken as to the ethnic relationship of the Eskimos in question.

		The Naskapi Indians used to determine where to hunt game by placing the shoulder bone of a caribou over a fire until it cracks - then read the cracks as a map.
		This strategy works because it ensures that the plans for future hunts are not shaped by the results of past hunts.
