- Title
Un territoire de cent pas de côté : récits de la création d'une réserve indienne en territoire innu au milieu du <sup>XX</sup>e siècle.
- Authors
MALTAIS-LANDRY, AUDE
- Abstract
This article is based on stories collected during an oral history project conducted with members of the Innu community of Nutashkuan (North Shore region, Quebec), which explored the creation of their reserve in the 1950s. It argues that oral history, by putting the stories at the heart of the narrative, can allow us to write a history of Aboriginal peoples that is propelled by their own comprehension of historical events. Although locally grounded, the stories presented here shed light on the broader implications of the imposition of the Indian Act on Aboriginal communities in Quebec.
