Keeping Innu Waterways Healthy | Minashkuat Kanakutuatak

“In our language, they’re called Kanakutuatak – the ones who look after the land. In English, they’re called Guardians.” In 1992, the Innu Nation launched their Fisheries Guardians Program to help ensure the health of their lands and waterways, and continue the stewardship they have practiced since time immemorial. Since then, their Guardians program has expanded to include wildlife, forestry, mining, and hydro development monitoring. Watch and learn how the work of Innu Guardians is rooted in relationship, and will help ensure not only the lands & waters – but also culture – thrives into the future.
