| Abstract |
This collection about the Innu consists of 17 documents and a cultural summary, all in English, that cover a variety of historical, geographical, and cultural information from 1600 to the 1970s. The Innu, also known as Montagnais-Naskapi, are a small group of indigenous people in Canada whose traditional homeland included a vast area of the Labrador Peninsula. The earliest systematic ethnographic information on Innu culture was compiled by Lucien M. Turner, who traveled and lived in the Hudson Bay Territory in 1882-1884. Turner's work describes Innu environment and culture, with particular emphasis on their diet, clothing, dwelling, handicrafts, means of transportation, tools and weapons, and methods of hunting. The works of Frank Gouldsmith Speck discuss organization of bands and religion among the Naskapi, one of the main divisions of Innu society, in 1908-1932. Other general and brief descriptions of Innu society, history, and environment include Turner, Lips, and Lane. The remaining works document and examine more specific aspects of Innu society and culture including ownership and use of hunting territories, residence pattern and organization of bands, concepts of status and differentiation, law and order, seasonal migration of bands, medical use of plants and animals, status of women and child rearing practices, kinship terminologies, mythology, and oral tradition. Most of the works in the collection document and examine selected themes as observed in the 1930s, 1940s, 1950s and 1970s. |
