Innu people

The Innut ('People') -- singular: Innu/Ilnu ('man, person') -- formerly called Montagnais (; French for 'mountain people'), are the Indigenous Canadians who inhabit northeastern Labrador in present-day Newfoundland and Labrador and some portions of Quebec. They refer to their traditional homeland as Nitassinan ('Our Land', ᓂᑕᔅᓯᓇᓐ) or Innu-assi ('Innu Land').

The ancestors of the modern First Nations were known to have lived on these lands as hunter-gatherers for many thousands of years. To support their seasonal hunting migrations, they created portable tents made of animal skins. Their subsistence activities were historically centred on hunting and trapping caribou, moose, deer, and small game.
