The territory as a link between nations

 

Relations between Indigenous and non-Indigenous people are not only about tension and conflict. Harmony can also exist. This is demonstrated by the project Territoire Mamuapuat (which, in the Innu language, means living together) proposed by Nathalie Lapierre, a committed citizen of Natashquan, and developed in partnership with Laurie Guimond, professor in the Department of Geography of UQAM.
