Innu

There are two groups of Innu, the Montagnais and the Naskapi. The Naskapi had been in Northern Labrador for hundreds of years before Europeans came to the area. The Montagnais came to Labrador about 500 years ago.

Today there are still two groups of Innu in Labrador, the Montagnais which live around the Lake Melville area, mostly in the community of Sheshatshit, the Naskapi live in the community of Davis Inlet.

The Innu traditionally spent their summers fishing on the Labrador Coast and when the Fall season arrived, they would move further inland for the winter months to hunt caribou which roam Labrador in herds.

Most of the Innu in Labrador lives in Davis Inlet and Sheshatsheits and prefer to be known as the Innu of Labrador, and still many continue to follow the traditional lifestyle of hunting and trapping.
