Deeply rooted in ancient ties to the land, the Innu of Sheshatshit and their allies resist low-level military flyovers with steadfast resolve. Their intricate social hierarchies, evolving language, and enduring bond with territory reveal an unwavering commitment to sovereignty and cultural legacy across vast regions.
The people of Sheshatshit and their fellow Innu attracted world-wide attention with a campaign, waged for several years, against low-level flying exercises conducted over their land by NATO airforces. These Innu have occupied the Lake Melville region since ancient times and have a vast network of relationships throughout Quebec and Labrador. This book describes their social organization and hierarchy, the evolution of Innu speech, kinship and its role in their lives, and how they "occupy" immense territory. Their "territorial battles" are based on their connection with the land and their ideas of sovereignty and responsibility.
