Part Four
The Innu experience of the
Comprehensive Land Claims process
Map 2: Quebec-Labrador Peninsula showing the land acquired as Crown lands under the James Bay and Northern Quebec Agreement, the North Eastern Quebec Agreement, the Labrador Inuit Settlement Agreement and the Tshash Petapen (New Dawn) Agreement in Principle on which there is as yet no Final Agreement. Only 10 per cent of the land remains as indigenous land in fee simple after the signing of these agreements, which purport to ‘grant’ land to the peoples.
Map 3: Frank Speck’s map of the Quebec-Labrador Peninsula showing the distribution of the land under Innu (both Montagnais and Naskapi) ownership and control. A version of this map was used in support of the Conseil Attikamekw-Montagnais land claim. Note that Speck allocates only the most northerly territory to the Inuit.
