What's new on our site today!
Les Innus (French version)
As a complement to our Montagnais and
Naskapi language information, we would like to share our
collection of indexed links about the Innu people and various aspects of their society. The emphasis
of these pages is on American Indians as a living people with a present and a future as well as a past. Innu history is interesting and
important, but the Innu are still here today, too, and we try to feature modern writers as well as traditional
folklore, contemporary art as well as museum pieces, and the issues and struggles of today as well as the tragedies
of yesterday. Suggestions for new links are always welcome.
