This book offers a history of the Innu of Sept-Îles. Having worked on several mining sites, the author got a close look at the societal transformations that occurred as a consequence of the mining industry, leading him to become politically active. In the 1970s he works on the promotion of the Innu language by creating a learning methodology and a translation firm. The publication of Umue tipatshimun innut ute uashat / L’Histoire montagnaise de Sept-Îles is the first to come out of the newly created publishing company, Éditions Innu, and a first of a series on traditional knowledge.
