[Reprinted in 1997] Initially the author had sought to show how the people of the two nations were not how stereotypes depicted them; lazy, alcoholic and dispossessed. However he soon turns to a discussion of the history of territorial negotiations that were affecting the Innu and Atikamekw, which lead them to “take control” and make way for “their own societal project” through the creation of the Attikamekw-Montagnais Counsel (CAM). As negotiator for the latter, he presents elements of the disputes with the Quebec and Newfoundland provincial governements as well as with the federal government. The book also tells of his own off-reserve life and the many encounters he had with people who had lost their land and culture.

Again we see classification issues arise. With this work classified as "History" we position an ongoing culture as historical rather than ongoing.
