Natuashish

Natuashish

The Mushuau Innu First Nation is located in the province of Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. This First Nations band government has one reserve which has been located near the community of Natuashish since 2002 when it moved from Davis Inlet. The reserve has an area of roughly 43 square kilometres.
The Mushuau Innu and the Naskapi tribe were once the same people, speaking the same dialect and writing in syllabics, but split off and headed to Eastern Labrador, probably for sustainability reasons. Very few (if any) Mushuau Innu are able to write in syllabics any more. The majority of the tribe is Catholic and use the Montagnais Bible which does not use syllabics.
The chief of this First Nation is John Nui. As of March 2013, the First Nation has a registered population of 897 people, of whom 832 live on-reserve.
