Gathering Voices: Finding Strength to Help Our ChildrenAfter six children from Davis Inlet, Labrador, died in a house fire in 1992, Innu leaders called for a public inquiry. The federal government refused. The Innu nation and the Mushuau Innu Band Council held a people's inquiry instead, followed a year later by a second project undertaken at the invitation of the Royal Commission on Aboriginal Peoples. This book presents the words and stories they gathered as part of those two projects. -- from book jacket. |
