Innu Demand Truth Over Timeline

The Innu Nation is demanding accountability from the Newfoundland and Labrador government after it cancelled a cultural exhibit over a heated dispute about Innu history — the government claims 300 years of presence, while the Innu assert a far longer legacy. Cultural Guardian Jodie Ashini calls it cultural genocide and is set to meet with top officials, urging them to stop promoting the disputed timeline, which she says erases Innu identity. The government’s apology falls short, Ashini says, as it doesn’t address the root issue. Innu businesses are withdrawing from Expo Labrador in solidarity, waiting for the meeting’s outcome. While local business groups hope for resolution, Ashini warns of serious consequences if the province doesn’t act — especially as new development looms in Labrador.
