Land-based revitalisation 197 Bibliography 235 Index 267 Glossary of Innu words Akaneshau/t (Kakeshau/t in the Mushuau Innu dialect) – singular and plural for white person or person of European descent. Atuatshuap – store or shop. In Sheshatshiu it also serves as the name of the store. Innu-aimun – the Innu language. Kamateuet – shamans and healers. Kamestasteniunuts – spirit people who inhabit the area around Lake Kameshtashten and can be seen by the observant. Katshimatsheshu – spirit people who inhabit the land, capable of transforming their body size and shape and able to play tricks on people, sometimes with deadly effect. Kukumanatsheuake – a pacifier for babies containing bone marrow and other country foods. Kushapatshakan – the shaking tent, an Innu practice used to communicate with the Animal Gods and to seek advice and guidance on how to survive on the land and where to find animals. It involves setting up a tent within a tent into which the Animal spirits enter and talk to the shaman in their different languages – all of which he can understand. The practice may also include healing the sick or giving advice on how to help those who are ill. The last performance was in the 1960s. Innu say that since then they have not had the confidence to perform it. Minish Pemmican (pasauan) – dried caribou meat sometimes ground up with berries. Mukushan – literally meaning ‘eat all’, is a feast made from preparing caribou bones after a kill. The bones are boiled, the fat removed and mixed with the extracted marrow. This is allowed to congeal, often overnight. It is served to the whole camp with meat and sometimes bannock to celebrate the Caribou God. Nutshimit – the country or the land, used by Innu to be synonymous also with the hunting life they live on the land. Teueikan – the Innu drum made of stretched caribou skin with small rattles tied to strings positioned across the face of the drum, often made from pieces of bone. Historically, the drum is only played by a person who has had three special dreams. It is used in Innu dances, music and songs to communicate with the animal spirits. Tshash Petapen – the Innu Nation land claims agreement affecting the Innu domiciled in Sheshatshiu and Natuashish, and to which is also attached an agreement to condone and participate in the Lower Churchill hydroelectric mega-project. Tshenu/t – singular and plural for old person/s or old hunter/s. Uinastakan – the dried undigested contents of caribou stomach used as a stock for soup and stews. Utshimau – literally meaning ‘first man’, who in a hunting camp made a decision to go on a particular expedition. Others were free to follow him, but his authority extended only to the specific hunt. It is sometimes used teasingly to denote a person in the villages who is bossy or who attempts to influence or make decisions for others.

  • Davis Inlet in Crisis: Will the Lessons Ever Be Learned?
    DAVIS INLET IN CRISIS: WILL THE LESSONS EVER BE LEARNED? Harold Press P.O. Box 6342, Station C St. John's, Newfoundland Canada, A1C 6J9 Abstract / Resume The author reviews the history of the Mushuau Innu who now live at Davis Inlet on the Labrador coast. He examines the policy context of the contem- porary community and looks at the challenges facing both the Innu and governments in the future. L'auteur réexamine l'histoire des Mushuau Innu qui habitent à présent à Davis Inlet sur la côète de Labrador. Il étudie la politique de la communauté contemporaine et considère les épreuves qui se présenteront aux Innu et aux gouvernements dans l'avenir. 188 Harold Press We have only lived in houses for twenty-five years, and we have seldom asked ourselves, "what should an Innu commu- nity be like? What does community mean to us as a people whose culture is based in a nomadic past, in six thousand years of visiting every pond and river valley in Nitassinan? - Hearing the Voices While the front pages of our local newspapers are replete with accounts of violence, poverty and abuse throughout the world, not often do we encounter cases, particularly in this country, of such unconditional destruc- tion that have led to the social disintegration of entire communities. One such case was Grassy Narrows, starkly and movingly brought to our collective attention by Shkilnyk (1985). The story of Grassy Narrows is one of devastation, impoverishment, and ruin. Shkilnyk describes her experi- ences in the small First Nation's community this way: I could never escape the feeling that I had been parachuted into a void - a drab and lifeless place in which the vital spark of life had gone out.

    August 2012 Newsletter ------------------------------------ Yesterday & Today Records P.O.Box 54 Miranda NSW 2228 Phone: (02) 95311710 Email:[email protected] www.yesterdayandtoday.com.au ------------------------------------------------ Postage Australia post is essentially the world’s most expensive service. We aim to break even on postage and will use the best method to minimise costs. One good innovation is the introduction of the “POST PLUS” satchels, which replace the old red satchels and include a tracking number. Available in 3 sizes they are 500 grams ($7.50) 3kgs ($11.50) 5kgs ($14.50) P & P. The latter 2 are perfect for larger interstate packages as anything over 500 grams even is going to cost more than $11.50. We can take a cd out of a case to reduce costs. Basically 1 cd still $2. 2cds $3 and rest as they will fit. Again Australia Post have this ludicrous notion that if a package can fit through a certain slot on a card it goes as a letter whereas if it doesn’t it is classified as a “parcel” and can cost up to 5 times as much. One day I will send a letter to the Minister for Trade as their policies are distinctly prejudicial to commerce. Out here they make massive profits but offer a very poor number of services and charge top dollar for what they do provide. Still, the mail mostly always gets there. But until ssuch times as their local monopoly remains, things won’t be much different. ----------------------------------------------- For those long term customers and anyone receiving these newsletters for the first time we have several walk in sales per year, with the next being Saturday August 25th.
