Innu woman, Canada, Filomena McKenzie, by Ralph Grizzle

An elder testifying at the inquiry into Innu children in care says colonization has hurt the Innu way of life, and its impact can be seen in the worsening health of her community.

Tshaukuesh Elizabeth Penashue testified Friday — the fifth day of the Inquiry into the Treatment, Experiences, and Outcomes of Innu in the Child Protection System in Sheshatshiu — that the Innu used to have everything Nutshimit, an Innu word that means "on the land."

"Innu ate animals fresh every day," she said. But diabetes, high blood pressure, cancer and kidney problems have become prevalent, and she blames the influence of the government and priests who disrupted the Innu's connection to their traditional way of life.

She remembers seeing the attempts of colonization first-hand as a child, when a priest suggested to Penashue's father that he stop going out on the land to hunt so his children would be able to go to school. [...]

Aayaase

Aayaase, sometimes referred to as Iyash or ᐋᔾᔮᐦᔥ (Aayaash; unpointed as ᐊᔾᔭᔥ), is an epic hero of the Cree tribe and the adjacent Ojibwe, Innu, and Algonquin communities.

From his family members' betrayal to the world fire, Aayaase is essentially the protagonist of a single heroic epic. The specifics of Aayaase's tale differ depending on the community, but without any fault of his own, he is always left behind by his father or stepfather on a desolate island. Aayaase was typically punished for shielding his mother from mistreatment. Aayaase has a series of adventures in which he kills or defeats strange monsters and then brings them back to life as good people or animals with the assistance of Old Lady Fox, who serves as his mentor. At the end, Aayaase locates his family once more, saves his mother, and uses fire to murder everyone—including the child of the second wife—who he later brings back to life as a duck, the world is consumed by fire and is also better off than it was before.

Jasmine Brings home a new retro-looking game from GameWorld, and when she and her brother Bobby start playing it, they get sucked into it via a portal, and upon awakening inside the game, they realize that they have been turned into anthropomorphic animals. Jasmine is now a cat, and her brother is a bear, and they can both do a myriad of cool attacks that cost little health when used in battle, say, against some giant wasps, perhaps? As they meet up with new allies along the way, like Skate the crow, Jasmine and Bobby will have to play the game with their lives on the line. Will they win? Find out, in Adventures in GameWorld: Game Start.

The Innu Nation has launched a class-action lawsuit against the government of Canada and the Newfoundland and Labrador government, seeking compensation for Indigenous day school survivors in Sheshatshiu, Natuashish and the former community of Davis Inlet. The lawsuit was filed on behalf of Innu who attended the schools, which were funded by the Canadian government, and overseen by the province from 1949, when Newfoundland joined Confederation, to 2009. The lawsuit argues children suffered from physical, sexual, emotional and cultural abuse while at the schools.
