Description

Based on extensive historical research and fieldwork in Labrador over many years| A Way of Life that Does not Exist brings to light the scale of the tragedies that have overtaken the Innu| giving rise to international human rights concerns.

Colin Samson looks in detail at Innu relations with the Canadian state| developers| explorers| missionaries| educators| health-care professionals| and the justice system. Although the Innu have lost land and lives in the attempts to assimilate them| Samson demonstrates that many have also resisted the official state policy of ‘extinguishment’ through both political channels and by maintaining a resilient belief in their distinctiveness and their attachment to the land.
