Ma peau aime le Nord
First collection of poetry by the young Innu of Ekuanitshit (Mingan) Manon Nolin, Ma peau aime le Nord reveals the boundless attachment that the Innu poet has for her culture, for the traditions of her ancestors, for her territory. Her writing takes an intimate look at the fragility of a disappearing Innu culture, whose strength we can still feel in the thousand-year-old teachings of nature.

Photographic serie: Montagnais and Naskapi communities of the Côte-Nord and Labrador (BAnQ)
This photographic series was taken by Paul Provencher and bears witness to his career as a forest engineer for the Quebec North Shore company between 1929 and 1963. During this period, he explored, surveyed and inventoried the boreal forest of the Côte-Nord and du Labrador. He meets and accompanies the Innu along the Manicouagan and Toulnustouc rivers and visits the communities of Betsiamites (Pessamit), Sept-Îles (Uashat Mak Mani-Utenam), La Romaine (Unamen Shipi), Moisie Fort Mackenzie (Kawawachikamach, Matimekosh). His photographs bear witness to the Innu-aitun culture and promote the recognition of ancestral aboriginal practices that have been tested and proven for centuries.

Qu’as-tu fait de mon pays? Tanite nene etutamin nitassi?
This novel tells the story of the dispossession of indigenous peoples and the abuses of the colonial system in the form of a philosophical tale. In this work, An Antane Kapesh, the first Innu author, interprets the forest and those who endured colonial history in their flesh and their dignity and explains the world as it was before colonization.

S’agripper aux fleurs : collectif de femmes innues
Three Innu women (Louise Canapé, Louve Mathieu and Shan dak/Jeanne’Arc Vollant), natives of the North Shore (Quebec), sign this collection imbued with a typically Aboriginal flavor. Their haikus reveal the naked truth of a people of the great outdoors confined to the “reserve”, a reserve which perhaps has the merit of protecting the identity, but which nevertheless cuts wings.
