Publisher's Synopsis
It's Like the Legend celebrates the storytelling traditions of Innu women from Labrador while shedding light on their efforts to preserve both their land and their traditional way of life for future generations. When NATO began carrying out low-level flight testing over Innu land, these women played a significant role in organizing acts of resistance, including civil disobedience and attracting international attention to their plight. An inspiring collection of memoirs, legends, poetry, essays, speeches, and testimonies, this text is an indispensible resource for students in courses on Indigenous studies, women's studies, and environmental studies.
