    Eukuan nin matshi-manitu innushkueu : Je suis une maudite sauvagesse

    Eukuan nin matshi-manitu innushkueu : Je suis une maudite sauvagesse

    In this novel, Antane Kapesh wrote to preserve and share her culture, experience, and knowledge, all of which, she felt, were disappearing at an alarming rate because many Elders – like herself – were aged or dying. She wanted to publicly denounce the conditions in which she and the Innu were made to live, and to address the changes she was witnessing due to land dispossession and loss of hunting territory, police brutality, and the effects of the residential school system.

    Uashtessiu : lumière d’automne

    Uashtessiu : lumière d’automne

    Jean Désy, Rita Mestokosho

    In this book, two nomads, poets, healers, one Innu, the other from Quebec, share a love for the same territory: the North Shore and, beyond, the North. Rita Mestokosho is the first Innu poet to have published a collection in Quebec, while Jean Désy is a traveling poet who sails between the South and the North and the worlds of autochthony. Two sensibilities intersect in the space of this poetic exchange which will have lasted four seasons.
