Preparing Innineu: Partridge Cleaning in Sheshatshiu (2026)

For Innu First Nation communities in Labrador, partridges are a familiar and important food source, particularly in Sheshatshiu, where the bird is known as innineu in Innu-aimun. This film documents a cultural workshop held at the Manishan Nui Gull Island Gathering, captured by Innu youth Reighlyn Penashue and Karlianna Pokue with support from emerging filmmakers Heidi Atter and Charlie Pye-Strowbridge.
