Economic Development and Innu Settlement: The Establishment of Sheshatshit.

Abstract

RESUME This paper documents the circumstances surrounding the comparatively recent settlement of the nomadic Innut of Labrador in a central community. State and health officials and agents of the church at the time initiated programs that focused on economic rehabilitation, formal education and health concerns which they felt would assist in integrating Innut into Canadian industrial society. Ultimately Innut had little choice but to comply with the wishes of these officials and settle when confronted with the difficulties of pursuing traditional practices. Cet article etudie les circonstances qui entourent l'etablissement comparativement recent des Innu nomades du Labrador dans une communaute centrale. Lors de l'etablissement les representants de l'Etat et de la sante et les representants de l'Englise avaient commence des programmes ayant pour but la rehabilitation economique, l'education scolaire et les problemes de sante qu'ils avaient juges susceptibles d'aider a integrer les Innu dans la societe canadienne industrielle. Enfin les Innu n'avaient d'autre choix qu'a se conformer aux desirs de ces representants et se mettre d'accord avec eux lorsqu'on les avait fait voir les difficultes que presentait la continuation des pratiques traditionnelles.
