Geography

The Innu nation numbers some 15,000 people, making it the second largest aboriginal nation in Québec.

In Québec, the Innu, who used to be known as the Montagnais, mainly live in nine communities. Seven are located along a 900-kilometre stretch bordering the St. Lawrence River, from Tadoussac up to the Labrador border. The other two communities live on the edge of Lac Saint-Jean and at the heart of the northern region of Québec, near the Labrador border.
