"My body is here but my spirit is always there": The Innu Language of the Forest
Community of Ekuanitshit

The Innu are descendents of a nomadic people who travelled in all directions, from east to west, from north to south, in search of caribou. When they kill an animal, nothing is wasted. It is important to use every part of the animal and to hang the bones in a tree as a sign of respect.
