  • Death and Life for Inuit and Innu
    skin for skin Narrating Native Histories Series editors: K. Tsianina Lomawaima Alcida Rita Ramos Florencia E. Mallon Joanne Rappaport Editorial Advisory Board: Denise Y. Arnold Noenoe K. Silva Charles R. Hale David Wilkins Roberta Hill Juan de Dios Yapita Narrating Native Histories aims to foster a rethinking of the ethical, methodological, and conceptual frameworks within which we locate our work on Native histories and cultures. We seek to create a space for effective and ongoing conversations between North and South, Natives and non- Natives, academics and activists, throughout the Americas and the Pacific region. This series encourages analyses that contribute to an understanding of Native peoples’ relationships with nation- states, including histo- ries of expropriation and exclusion as well as projects for autonomy and sovereignty. We encourage collaborative work that recognizes Native intellectuals, cultural inter- preters, and alternative knowledge producers, as well as projects that question the relationship between orality and literacy. skin for skin DEATH AND LIFE FOR INUIT AND INNU GERALD M.

  • Continuation of the Negotiations with the Innu
    QUEBECERS and the INNU CONTINUATION OF THE NEGOTIATIONS WITH THE INNU AGREEMENT-IN-PRINCIPLE WORKING TOGETHER TO ACHIEVE A TREATY Québec Secrétariat aux affaires autochtones Québec HOW TO PARTICIPATE IN THE NEGOTIATIONS The Government of Québec has put in place a participation mechanism that allows the populations of the Saguenay–Lac-Saint-Jean and Côte-Nord regions to make known their opinion at the negotiating table. Québec’s negotiations team includes a representative of the regions who attends all of the negotiation sessions. He is the regions’ spokesperson at the negotiating table. The representative of the regions can count on the assistance of one delegate in each of the regions in question. W HAT IS THE RO L E OF THE REP RES ENTATIV E O F THE REGIO NS AND THE DELEGATES? 1 To keep you informed of the progress made in the work of the negotiating table. 2 To consult you and obtain your comments. 3 To convey your proposals and concerns to the Minister for Aboriginal Affairs and to the special negotiator for the Government of Québec. WHAT IS THE AGREEM ENT-IN-P RINCIPLE? The agreement-in-principle reached by the Government of Québec, the Government of Canada and the First Nations of Betsiamites, Essipit, Mashteuiatsh and Nutashkuan will serve as a basis for negotiating a final agreement that will compromise a treaty and complementary agreements. In other words, it is a framework that will orient the pursuit of negotiations towards a treaty over the next two years. WHY NEGOTIATE? Quebecers and the Innu have lived together on the same territory for 400 years without ever deciding on the aboriginal rights of the Innu.

  • Spring Survey of Caribou in the Vicinity of Schefferville May 2009
    SPRING SURVEY OF CARIBOU IN THE VICINITY OF SCHEFFERVILLE MAY 2009 Prepared for: NEW MILLENNIUM CAPITAL CORP. AND LABRADOR IRON MINES LIMITED FINAL REPORT – WITHOUT PREJUDICE Natalie D’Astous, Groupe Hémisphères Perry Trimper, Jacques Whitford Stantec Limited November 2009 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY During May 2009, Labrador Iron Mines Limited and New Millennium Capital Corp. partnered to complete an aerial survey for caribou in consultation with the Newfoundland and Labrador Wildlife Division. Both companies are undergoing environmental reviews for mining projects located in the vicinity of Schefferville, Quebec. Working under the regulatory direction of the Provincial Wildlife Division in Newfoundland and Labrador and the ministère des Ressources naturelles et de la Faune du Quebec, consultants for these proponents (i.e., Jacques Whitford Stantec Limited (JWSL) and Groupe Hémisphères (GH), respectively) worked together to assess the presence/absence of sedentary caribou in the area surrounding these proposed iron ore developments. The survey was a requirement of the Newfoundland and Labrador environmental assessment process. Prior to field investigations, a literature search was conducted to identify a Study Area of 50 km in radius centred on each proposed development. Letters explaining the objectives and other aspects of the survey were sent to the leaders of the local First Nations concerned, namely the Innu Nation, Innu Takuaikan Uashat mak Mani-Utenam, the Naskapi Nation of Kawawachikamach and the Nation Innu Matimekush-Lac John. Given the presence of staging waterfowl, a portion of Attikamagen and Petitsikapau Lakes was avoided to reduce potential effects on the goose hunting activities being conducted at the time, at the request of these leaders.

  • Contract for Service
    Innu Round Table Secretariat 211 Peenamin Drive, PO Box 449 Sheshatshiu, NL A0P 1M0 Ph: (709) 497-3854 Fax: 709-497-3881 EXPRESSION OF INTEREST: INNU ROUND TABLE SECRETARIAT MIDWIFERY CONSULTANT Background The Innu Round Table Secretariat (IRT Sec) is the collective organization of the Mushuau Innu First Nation (MIFN), the Sheshatshiu Innu First Nation (SIFN), and the Innu Nation. It was created for coordinated administration of common priorities including capacity development, devolution of programs, and managing the tripartite process with Canada and the province of Newfoundland & Labrador (NL). Prior to the 1960’s the Innu of Labrador were nomadic and practiced traditional midwifery. In recent focus groups in Sheshatshiu and Natuashish Innu elders remembered and described childbearing on Innu lands in the past. After settlement of Sheshatshiu and Davis Inlet, traditional midwives continued to provide care in the communities for a short time before childbirth was moved out of the community and to Happy Valley Goose Bay. Currently Innu women and families are not receiving midwifery care by Innu midwives. Care is fragmented and women are seeing different providers for different aspects of their care which makes it difficult to build trusting relationships. Some care is provided in the community but there are no children being born in Sheshatshiu and/or Natuashish. All Innu women are required to travel to the Labrador Grenfell Health hospital which is located in Happy Valley Goose Bay. Other than a couple Innu interpreters Labrador Grenfell Health has no professional Innu health staff, making the hospital a foreign and uninviting environment to all Innu people.

  • St Lawrence Saga: the Clarke Steamship Story
    ST LAWRENCE SAGA: THE CLARKE STEAMSHIP STORY © Kevin Griffin 2013 CHAPTER 10 The s.s. North Coaster, one of three “B” Type coasters owned and operated by Clarke THE QUEBEC NORTH SHORE, NEWFOUNDLAND AND CHARTERING While the 1950s would bring an economic boom to the Quebec North Shore, the fleet now serving this coast consisted of the North Shore, North Pioneer and North Coaster, and the North Gaspé by winter. Clarke was well placed to participate in this growth. Equally, with Newfoundland having become part of Canada in 1949, the Gulfport and Novaport formed the core of the company's service to Canada's tenth province. But Clarke ships alone would not be able to satisfy the demand. Clarke ships had always carried both passengers and cargo, but the latter was now becoming increasingly more important. In addition to general cargo, project cargo would flow to the mining and power developments springing up in Quebec and Labrador and consumer traffic would grow to Newfoundland, while backhaul cargoes would be loaded for delivery to Port Alfred, Quebec, Trois-Rivières and Montreal. To serve these markets, more ships would soon have to be chartered in to supplement the core fleet. While the late 1940s had often seen Clarke chartering its ships to others, the 1950s would turn out to be Clarke's biggest period by far for chartering ships from other owners. From early days the company had been active in chartering vessels as required for its various scheduled and non-scheduled services. These ships were normally paid for on the basis of a negotiated amount of charter hire per day, called time charter, although there were occasions when the company would engage ships for a lump sum for delivery of a certain cargo on a voyage charter.
