la fois le chemin de sa joie et son chemin de croix. Présente aux premières lignes du journal de voyage de Champlain, aujourd'hui aussi familière que mystérieuse, la nation innue vit et survit depuis au moins deux mille ans dans cette partie de l'Amérique du Nord qu'elle a nommée dans sa langue Nitassinan : notre terre.

Vous le devinez, ces petites histoires sont prétextes à en raconter de plus grandes. Celles d'un peuple résilient, une société traditionnelle de chasseurs nomades qui s'est maintenue pendant des siècles, une société dont les fondements ont été ébranlés et brisés entre 1850 et 1950, alors que le gouvernement orchestrait la sédentarisation des adultes et l'éducation forcée des enfants.
