On Monday, Phil Fontaine, head of the Assembly of First Nations which represents more than 300 Native communities in Canada, announced a formal partnership with the National Congress of American Indians (NCAI), based in the United States. Fontaine said the two organisations would press for full self- government and sovereignty for all native North Americans. He said the group also would seek partnerships with aboriginal groups in Mexico. The Geneva-based UN Human Rights Committee said in a report last week that the Canadian government had failed to implement recommendations of the 1996 Royal Commission on Aboriginal Peoples - proof that Ottawa was not complying with the international covenant on civil and political rights. The Royal Commission, made up of eminent Native leaders, lawyers, and academics, recommended full self-government, control over resources, and a separate traditional legal system. It also recommended major improvements to Native health care.

Extractions: Native American Indian languages Native American Indian tribes What's new on our site today! These Facts For Kids sections are being added in response to the many emails we've been receiving from young people looking for information about the Innus for school or home-schooling reports. We encourage students, especially older kids, to look through our main Innu language and culture pages for more in-depth information about the tribe, but here are some straightforward answers to the questions we are most often asked by children, with Innu pictures and links we believe are especially suitable for all ages. How are the words 'Montagnais,' 'Naskapi,' and 'Innu' used? What do they mean? 'Innu' is the word used by both Montagnais and Naskapi people to refer to themselves. It means "the people" in both of their languages. 'Montagnais' (pronounced moan-tahn-YAY) was a word French explorers used to refer to certain Innu bands. It means "mountain people" in French. 'Naskapi' (pronounced NAS-ka-pee) was a Montagnais word for a particular Innu band whose people lived further inland than the others and spoke a slightly different language. Apparently they also dressed differently, because 'Naskapi' means 'they wear crude clothes' in the Montagnais language! The Naskapi band had picked up some different customs from the Quebec Inuit, who lived near them. Perhaps this is what the Montagnais Innu were referring to. Despite differing fashion senses, the Naskapi and Montagnais bands were constant allies and have always considered themselves part of the same Innu people.

Z Visit the Poker Encyclopedia Web Arkansas Encyclopedia Native Americans officially make up the majority of the population in Bolivia , Peru and Guatemala and are significant in most other former Spanish colonies, with the exception of Costa Rica , Cuba , Argentina , Dominican Republic and Uruguay The Native Americans are widely believed to have come to the Americas via the prehistoric Bering Land Bridge . However, this is not the only theory. Some archaeologists believe that the migration consisted of seafaring tribes that moved along the coast, avoiding mountainous inland terrain and highly variable terrestrial ecosystems. Other researchers have postulated an original settlement by skilled navigators from Oceania , though these American Aborigine people are believed to be nearly extinct. Yet another theory claims an early crossing of the Atlantic Ocean by people originating in Europe . Many native peoples do not believe the migration theory at all. The creation stories of many tribes place the people in North America from the beginning of time. Mormon tradition holds that some Native Americans are descendants of the lost tribes of Israel Based on anthropological evidence, at least three distinct migrations

USAGE NOTE First Nation has gained wide acceptance in Canada since the early 1980s. Like Native American (which has little currency in Canada), First Nation provides a respectful alternative to Indian, a term that is more likely to be taken as directly offensive in Canada than it is in the United States. However, there are several differences between the Canadian and American expressions. First Nation is essentially a political term, promoted from within the indigenous community as a substitute for band in referring to any of the numerous aboriginal groups formally recognized by the Canadian government under the federal Indian Act of 1876. Unlike Native American

Extractions: HISTORY [Note: This is a single part of what will be, by my classification, about 240 compact tribal histories (contact to 1900). It is limited to the lower 48 states of the U.S. but also includes those First Nations from Canada and Mexico that had important roles ( Huron , Assiniboine, etc.). This history's content and style are representative. The normal process at this point is to circulate an almost finished product among a peer group for comment and criticism. At the end of this History you will find links to those Nations referred to in the History of the Montagnais. Using the Internet, this can be more inclusive. Feel free to comment or suggest corrections via e-mail. Working together we can end some of the historical misinformation about Native Americans. You will find the ego at this end to be of standard size. Thanks for stopping by. I look forward to your comments... Lee Sultzman. Montagnais Location Nitassinan, the Montagnais homeland, is a vast area which includes most of Quebec east of the St. Maurice River extending along the north side of the St. Lawrence to the Atlantic Ocean in Labrador. To the north, their territory reached as far as the divide between the St. Lawrence and James Bay drainages. There were three divisions: the Montagnais along the St. Lawrence between the St. Maurice River and Sept-Iles; the Naskapi east of them in Labrador; and the Attikamek on the upper St. Maurice River north of Montreal. Population Originally, about 10,000, and reaching its low-point of 2,000 in 1884. Currently, there are almost 13,000 Montagnais in Quebec with another 800 living in Labrador. The 1,100 Naskapi are also split - 600 in Quebec and 500 in Labrador, while the Attikamek have 4,600, all in Quebec. When all groups of the Montagnais are added together, the total is close to 20,000 making the Montagnais the largest group of Native Americans in Quebec after the Mohawk. At present, they are organized into four separate tribal governments. The Naskapi and Montagnais in Labrador are represented by the Innu Nation, while the Quebec Montagnais belong to either the Mamuitun or the Mammit Innuat First Nation. The Attikamek formerly were part of the Montagnais but recently have chosen to maintain a separate status.
