THEY CALL THEMSELVES INNU MEANING "THE PEOPLE". THE WORD MONTAGNAS MEANS "MOUNTAIN PEOPLE". THEIR NEIGHBORS THE NISKAPI SPOKE SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT. THE MONTAGNAS LIVE ON RESERVATIONS IN THE U.S. TODAY. EACH BAND HAS A CHIEF. THEY MADE POLITICAL DECISIONS BY CONSENSUS. THEY KEPT TALKING UNTIL ALL MEMBERS COULD AGREE. THEY SPEAK EITHER MONTAGNAS OR NASKAPI, WHICH ARE SIMILAR BUT NOT UNDERSTANDABLE.
THEY ARE INDIGENOUS TO CANADA AND QUEBEC. THEY STILL LIVE HERE ON RESERVATIONS. THEIR CHIEFS ARE CHOSEN.
