Scope and contentFile contains an individual presentation by Peter Penashue focusing on Innu self-government. He provides a brief history of the Innu people in Labrador and the effects on the Innu when Newfoundland entered Confederation in 1949. He refers to the framework negotiations with the federal and provincial governments and hopes these negotiations lead to self-government that will help revive Innu culture, customs and language. Following the presentation is a question-and-answer session with the Commissioners.
