Mushuau Innu Election.

The elections for chief and four councilors in Natuashish are today. Note the fact that there are two seats set aside for females.
Natuashish is not that far away from here, relative to Labrador far.

I think it’s not unreasonable to say that the community has had more than its share of tragic incidences and some controversial actions by local leaders and outside agencies.

I think it’s rather tragic that some people have been misled or been exposed to the worst that the dominant society has to offer.
That is not to dissolve the local people from any fault in inappropriate actions, the Innu society is very clannish for sure, but actions by people and agencies beyond their control have played a major role into the situation the Innu find themselves.
