Bleuets et abricots

Bleuets et abricots

In Bleuets et apricots, Natasha Kanapé Fontaine’s poems bring to the fore the voices of indigenous women who stand up against the wounds of colonization. With the blueberry, native fruit of the Nordic territory, and the large apricots of Haiti, she invites dialogue, reconciliation and links that enrich peoples. This work earned her a nomination as a finalist for the Grand Prix du livre de Montréal.

Ma peau aime le Nord

Ma peau aime le Nord

First collection of poetry by the young Innu of Ekuanitshit (Mingan) Manon Nolin, Ma peau aime le Nord reveals the boundless attachment that the Innu poet has for her culture, for the traditions of her ancestors, for her territory. Her writing takes an intimate look at the fragility of a disappearing Innu culture, whose strength we can still feel in the thousand-year-old teachings of nature.

Photographic serie: Montagnais and Naskapi communities of the Côte-Nord and Labrador (BAnQ)

Photographic serie: Montagnais and Naskapi communities of the Côte-Nord and Labrador (BAnQ)

This photographic series was taken by Paul Provencher and bears witness to his career as a forest engineer for the Quebec North Shore company between 1929 and 1963. During this period, he explored, surveyed and inventoried the boreal forest of the Côte-Nord and du Labrador. He meets and accompanies the Innu along the Manicouagan and Toulnustouc rivers and visits the communities of Betsiamites (Pessamit), Sept-Îles (Uashat Mak Mani-Utenam), La Romaine (Unamen Shipi), Moisie Fort Mackenzie (Kawawachikamach, Matimekosh). His photographs bear witness to the Innu-aitun culture and promote the recognition of ancestral aboriginal practices that have been tested and proven for centuries.
