Together, both communities from the Innu Nation. The Innu Nation was first incorporated in 1977 as the Naskapi-Montagagnais Innu Association and protects the rights, lands and way of life of the Innu people. The Innu Nation continues to take this role.
Each community also has an elected Band Council that works closely with the Innu Nation. Both communities are equally represented on the Board of Directors, and also equally represented by gender. For more information visit www.innu.ca and http://www.heritage.nf.ca/aboriginal/innu.html.
