i'm watching/listening to the Finland-Slovakia bronze hockey final, and this is my first time hearing a play-by-play commentary by innu commentators

cree and inuktitut phonemes blended in together with québecoise french expressions is absolutely beautiful to listen to. i'm guessing these speakers are from eastern Nunavut or northern Québec

tune in to the innu feed here:

C'est une abbération d'avoir des clubs de pêches américains qui possèdent une rivière (!) au Québec

We will be hosting the wonderful Hugh #Brody in our talk series in a few weeks on Oct 14.

One of the truly excellent documentaries made by Hugh, 'Hunters and Bombers' follows the campaign of the #Innu, of the southern Labrador coast and interior, against the low-level NATO military flying that was impacting their lands and way of life.
