Welcome to the Innu Language Website
Innu-aimun.ca aims to celebrate the Innu language and culture and to share a wide range of Innu language resources, in particular those created under the auspices of the Innu Language Project.
This website is the result of a joint partnership between the Linguistics Department at Memorial University, the School of Linguistics and Language Studies at Carleton University, the Labrador Innu School Board (Mamu Tshishkutamashutau – Innu Education) and the Quebec Innu organization Institut Tshakapesh.

More Background Information
This website was initially launched as part of the 5-year SSHRC CURA grant “Knowledge and Human Resources for Innu Language Development”, which ran from 2005-2010 and was a joint partnership between the Linguistics Department at Memorial University of Newfoundland the Innu of Labrador and Quebec.
Thanks to continued funding from organizations including Mamu Tshishkutamashutau / Innu Education (MTIE), l’Institut Tshakapesh, the Sheshatshiu Innu First Nation (SIFN), and others, even though the CURA project has ended, projects devoted to the revitalization and maintenance of the Innu language continue under the new name “Innu Language Project” in the Linguistics Department at Memorial University and at Carleton University.
These efforts have included the development of the Innu-English-French Dictionary, curriculum materials (including Innu language children’s books), glossaries for workplace vocabulary, and the adaptation of some of these resources for modern technology, including language apps for smartphones and tablets, online language resources (e.g., interactive Innu language games and lessons), and a newly updated version of this website.
With generous and continued support from various organizations, most notably Mamu Tshishkutamashutau – Innu Education Inc., the Innu Language Project is continuing to expand and improve upon the resources already in existence and to create new Innu-language materials.
