Che JimHOST
In many cases, Native American tribes dealt with Europeans using diplomacy or trade and created strategic alliances that gave them advantages over other Native nations.
Che JimHOST
For instance, tribes such as the Algonquins, the Innu, and the Windot allied with the French, and many traded furs for valuable European imports such as guns.
Che JimHOST
But unlike French fur traders, British colonists were more likely to demand control over native people and their land, which led to some major conflicts.
Che JimHOST
Sometimes, tribes joined forces to fight off an invasion, like in the case of Pontiac's Rebellion, named for the Ottawa chief who coordinated a bunch of tribes across the Ohio River Valley and the Great Lakes region to try to oust the British.
Valérie CourtoisGUEST
It's the birthing and nursery place for three to five billion birds every year.
Cierra BettensHOST
That was Innu forester Valerie Coutoir speaking about the importance of the boreal forest.
Cierra BettensHOST
As executive director of the Indigenous Leadership Initiative, she believes Indigenous land guardianship is key to protecting it for generations to come.
Valérie CourtoisSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
It's not an accident that 80% of the world's remaining biodiversity are located on lands managed and loved by Indigenous peoples.
Valérie CourtoisSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
We have been in relationships with the plants and animals of our territories and waters for millennia.
Valérie CourtoisSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
We care for each other.
Valérie CourtoisSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
The Innu people have loved and sustained and been in harmony with our landscapes for nearly 10,000 years.
Valérie CourtoisSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Surely, we have values, insights, strategies and knowledge to offer to the rest of the global community with respect to how to be a part of and care for our environment.
Brian CallahanHOST
So there's lots on that as well on that topic, um, and so much more.
Brian CallahanHOST
I wanted to get in again, we're talking about the, um, the Innu have said of course that they will, uh, you know, will be heard before this, uh, deal is signed, sealed and delivered.
Brian CallahanHOST
And I mentioned yesterday how the premier was saying they could have access to, uh, the provincial archeology records about the existence of Innu in Labrador to which I wonder, didn't they already? And it turns out they didn't.
Brian CallahanHOST
Um, you know, uh, from what I heard yesterday, apparently, uh, the Innu Nation and Grand Chief Jody Ashanee was denied apparently access to those archeology records, but now they have them and I don't know why they would have been, but I leave that out there.
Brian CallahanHOST
I'm still just playing a bit of catch up on that one.
Brian CallahanHOST
We have reached out to the Innu Nation for a little clarity on everything that's going on here since, um, the Grand Chief's comments late Friday, uh, that, um, you know, they weren't agreeing to this audit of the archeology records of everything that's on hand.
Brian CallahanHOST
I can't-- I can see why that would be a good exercise.
Brian CallahanHOST
The premier has said it would be completely independent and that the Innu Nation could even bring in their own experts if they want to go over it so they can come to a consensus.
Brian CallahanHOST
And on two very important issues.
Brian CallahanHOST
One, announcing this independent comprehensive audit of Innu records held by the Provincial Archaeology Office.
Brian CallahanHOST
And this has all kinds of implications in the current Churchill Falls MOU climate.
Brian CallahanHOST
So we know the Innu nation has raised concerns about their record, the archaeological record that the province has interpreted or limited to 300 years.
Brian CallahanHOST
So government says this audit is in response to the Innu's concerns and the aim will be to identify and assess all the research completed in the province regarding the Innu's presence in Labrador.
Brian CallahanHOST
So the Premier also confirmed the Grand Chief will be provided with complete access to materials held by the Provincial Archaeology Office.
Brian CallahanHOST
My question there is, you mean they didn't already? Or the Grand Chief, Ashini, didn't already? Or the Innu Nation didn't already have access to that information? So this news or announcement comes, as I said, 4 p.m.
Brian CallahanHOST
Friday afternoon in a news release.
MattHOST
I'll be picking up an
BenHOST
Innu and then I'll...
BenHOST
Innu is probably my preference.
BenHOST
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
BenHOST
I'll be picking

up
BenHOST

Carol PelsterNARRATOR
It became necessary, as their work was extended with each discovery of new lands to the west and southwest, to divide it into seven great centers of activity, each with several missionaries, whose superior reported every year to the superior general of the order in Quebec what had been done in his own field.
Carol PelsterNARRATOR
These various missions were: that to the Abenakis of Acadia, the name given by the French to northeastern Maine, Nova Scotia, and New Brunswick, and of Cape Breton Island; that to the Montagnais Indians, as the tribes of the lower St. Lawrence and the Saguenay were called, Tadoussac being the central station.
Carol PelsterNARRATOR
The several missions at Quebec, Montreal, Three Rivers, and in that region were united under common control.
Carol PelsterNARRATOR
The mission to the Hurons between Lake Simcoe and Georgian Bay was, during much of its thirty-five years of existence, the most dangerous of all because of the stolid barbarism of these cousins of the Iroquois, and later because the Hurons were frequently raided, and at last almost annihilated, by the Long House, a troublous period in which seven of the missionaries lost their lives in the work.

Cree traditions were not identical to Ojibwe traditions.
speaker_0NARRATOR
Ojibwe traditions were not identical to those of Innu, Naskapi or other northern peoples.
speaker_0NARRATOR
Stories changed across distances and generations.
speaker_0NARRATOR
Some described immense non-human beings.
16 MINS LATER
speaker_0NARRATOR
Later writers, illustrators, filmmakers and game designers added their own inventions.
speaker_0NARRATOR
The Wendigo became a horror villain, a cryptid, a creature with antlers, a skull-faced figure, a monster waiting in dark woods.
speaker_0NARRATOR
Those images may be powerful in modern storytelling, but they are not a reliable guide to the full range of Cree, Ojibwe, Anishinaabe, Innu, Naskapi and related traditions.
speaker_0NARRATOR
The old accounts were less tidy.
Brian CallahanHOST
We can get into the rest.
Brian CallahanHOST
I see that the CERT, the Serious Incident Response Team, has been called in to look into the arrest of that Innu gentleman in Sheshi by the three RCMP officers.
Brian CallahanHOST
So they'll take a closer look at that and investigate the circumstances.
Brian CallahanHOST
I see where a ticket was issued.
DennisHOST
You're listening to Time to Read, a Winnipeg Public Library podcast book club.
DennisHOST
We're recording today from the Millennium Library in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada, which is within Treaty 1 territory, the traditional lands of the Anishinaabe, Innu, and Dakota peoples, and in the national homeland of the Red River Métis.
DennisHOST
Our drinking water comes from Shoal Lake 41st Nation in Treaty 3 territory.
DennisHOST
In this episode, we will be discussing The Telling of Lies by Timothy Findlay.
Brian CallahanHOST
I see some people relocated to St. Louis, I believe.
Brian CallahanHOST
while the state of emergency just as a precaution and hopefully progress will be made today to knock that down but we'll certainly be keeping an eye on it let's see what else yeah speaking of I was sent a video yesterday during the show And this was of the Innu man in Sheheshi.
Brian CallahanHOST
And I wanted to have a better look and an arrest of an Innu man in Sheheshi by three RCMP officers.
Brian CallahanHOST
And, you know, I really didn't want to jump right into it.
Brian CallahanHOST
You know, a brief video, context is everything.
Brian CallahanHOST
I don't know.
Brian CallahanHOST
But again, not the first time.
Brian CallahanHOST
And I expect someone representative maybe from the Innu Nation on the program today.
