Abstract:	We, the Innu of Labrador, are not registered Indians, do not live on reserves, and have never surrendered our traditional territory or our aboriginal rights. This is because when Newfoundland joined Canada in 1949, the aboriginal peoples of Newfoundland and Labrador were ignored. As a result, we were not registered as Indians under the Indian Act, were not granted reserves, and were not allowed access to the range of programs, services, and local governance generally afforded First Nations in Canada. This situation exists to this day and has contributed to the crisis in our communities.
