  • 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.

YOU HAVE BEEN CHOSEN TO BE “A SELECTED WITNESS” to these extreme and monstrous CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY - indescribably terrible in themselves - coupled with the ORWELLIAN secrecy and denial of any support at all that we are experiencing, makes them even more horrendous and monstrous. We have contacted most Governments, Security/Intelligence Agencies, Religious Organisations, International Organizations, Human Rights Organizations, Universities, Scientific and other Institutions, and the International Media all over the world - over and over and over again – and have had our appeals for assistance, protection and/or publicity almost completely ignored and/or suppressed. Some TARGETED INDIVIDUALS have been attempting to gain assistance, protection and/or publicity about these crimes since the 1990s - and even earlier - this extends as far back into the history of illegal ‘scientific and medical’ testing and experimentation as MKULTRA, COINTELPRO and the DUPLESSIS ORPHANS - and further.

  • Quebec to Give Duplessis Orphans a Public Apology Campbell Clark, National Post December 28, 1998
    Quebec to Give Duplessis Orphans a Public Apology Campbell Clark, National Post December 28, 1998 Largest Youth Abuse Case: 3,000 survivors hope for financial compensation The Quebec government is to issue an apology over the treatment of the so-called Duplessis Orphans, who were interned in mental institutions in the 1930s, ’40s and ’50s after being abandoned by their parents, the National Post has learned. Those representing the estimated 3,000 surviving orphans hope the public apology by Lucien Bouchard, the Quebec premier, will be a first step in obtaining financial compensation similar to that offered to victims of abuse at the Mount Cashel orphanage in Newfoundland, and others who suffered similar treatment at institutions in other provinces. Hundreds of the Duplessis Orphans, so-named because Maurice Duplessis, the former Quebec premier, governed the province during most of the years of their internment, have reported harsh treatment and physical and sexual abuse in institutions run by Catholic religious orders. The allegations involved forced confinement, beatings, molestation and even rape. The episode is believed to be the largest case of institution- based youth abuse in Canadian history. Quebec’s College of Physicians has also, for the first time, agreed to express the medical profession’s “regrets,” and to launch a program to re-evaluate the cases of orphans who were falsely diagnosed as mentally retarded or mentally ill. The public apologies, expected to be made in January or February, will also involve correcting, where necessary, erroneous civil records, including birth certificates that may have wrongly listed the orphans’ parents as unknown.

  • Rapport Rectoverso
    HOWSE MINERALS LIMITED HOWSE PROJECT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT – (APRIL 2016) - SUBMITTED TO THE CEAA 7.5 SOCIOECONOMIC ENVIRONMENT This document presents the results of the biophysical effects assessment in compliance with the federal and provincial guidelines. All results apply to both jurisdictions simultaneously, with the exception of the Air Quality component. For this, unless otherwise noted, the results presented/discussed refer to the federal guidelines. A unique subsection (7.3.2.2.2) is provided which presents the Air Quality results in compliance with the EPR guidelines. 7.5.1 Regional and Historical Context The nearest populations to the Project site are found in the Schefferville and Kawawachikamach areas. The Town of Schefferville and Matimekush-Lac John, an Innu community, are located approximately 25 km from the Howse Property, and 2 km from the Labrador border. The Naskapi community of Kawawachikamach is located about 15 km northeast of Schefferville, by road. In Labrador, the closest cities, Labrador City and Wabush, are located approximately 260 kilometres from the Schefferville area (Figure 7-37). The RSA for all socioeconomic components includes: . Labrador West (Labrador City and Wabush); and . the City of Sept-Îles, and Uashat and Mani-Utenam. As discussed in Chapter 4, however, Uashat and Mani-Utenam are considered within the LSA for land-use and harvesting activities (Section 7.5.2.1). The IN and NCC are also considered to be within the RSA, in particular due to their population and their Aboriginal rights and land-claims, of which an overview is presented. The section below describes in broad terms the socioeconomic and historic context of the region in which the Howse Project will be inserted.

    NATHALIE BOUCHER LA TRANSMISSION INTERGÉNÉRATIONNELLE DES SAVOIRS DANS LA COMMUNAUTÉ INNUE DE MASHTEUIATSH Les savoir-faire et les savoir-être au cœur des relations entre les Pekuakamiulnuatsh Mémoire présenté à la Faculté des études supérieures de l'Université Laval dans le cadre du programme de maîtrise en anthropologie pour l’obtention du grade de maître ès arts (M.A.) FACULTÉ DES SCIENCES SOCIALES UNIVERSITÉ LAVAL QUÉBEC MARS 2005 © Nathalie Boucher, 2005 ii Résumé Le mémoire porte sur l'identification des moyens utilisés et favorisés par les différentes générations de femmes et d'hommes pekuakamiulnuatsh pour transmettre leurs savoirs aux autres générations. On remarque que les rôles attribués à la transmission des savoirs varient en fonction de l'âge de la personne qui transmet et de celle qui reçoit. Les rôles varient également selon la sphère dans laquelle cette transmission est faite. En effet, on privilégie davantage la tradition orale dans la sphère privée, c'est-à- dire dans la famille, alors que l'écrit est fortement utilisé dans la sphère publique, comme à l'école. L'utilisation dynamique des modes de transmission occidentaux et autochtones est nécessaire pour assurer le partage des savoirs et de leurs pratiques dans cette communauté très hétérogène. Elle renforce également l'identité ilnue et rassemble la communauté vers les mêmes projets politiques et culturels. iii Abstract This thesis is about the identification of the ways used and supported by the various generations of Pekuakamiulnuatsh women and men to transmit their knowledge to the other generations. It is pointed out that the roles assigned to the transmission of the knowledge vary according to the age of the person who transmits and the one who receives.
