"Quessipan" is a touching book that introduces us to the everyday life of the Innu Indian reservation. In graceful and precise language, Naomi Fontaine describes this exotic reality for the European reader. In the Innu language, "kuessipan" means "to you" or "your turn". Places and faces, familiar and beloved. Nomadic hunters. Nostalgic fishermen. Portraits. Rituals
A novel about men and women who fight every day for their own history.
The story in "Manikanetish" comes from the name of a French teacher on an Indian reservation on the banks of the St. Lawrence River. About their world, about their students, who strive to take responsibility for their own lives. Quietly and polyphonically about struggle and hope.
