This is Kaniuekutat's book. In it, he tells the story of his life
and that of Innu culture in the northern parts of Labrador. The
pages of this book are filled with the voice of Kaniuekutat giving
his account of an Innu hunter's life and the problems and distress
that have been caused by sedentarization and village life.
Kaniuekutat invites us to see Innu society and culture from the
inside, the way he lives it and reflects upon it. He was greatly
concerned that young Innu may lose their traditional culture and
the skills necessary to make a living as hunters, and wanted to
convey a message: the Innu must take care of their language, their
culture and their traditions.
Georg Henriksen was Professor of Social Anthropology at the
University of Bergen (Norway). He first carried out extensive
fieldwork among the Innu in 1966-68, and for the rest of his life
kept returning to Labrador. It was his deep concern for the future
of the Innu people, and that of other indigenous peoples, that
drove him to participate in the founding of IWGIA (International
Work Group for Indigenous Affairs). He always retained a special
fondness for the Innu people, and a great personal, professional
and political interest in their affairs.
