SHESHATSHIU, N.L. - Inside a wide, white canvas tent behind the Sheshatshiu Innu School in Labrador, the first drop of sweet molasses dough falling into a bubbling pan of fat gives off an aroma that prompts a group of third graders to look up, almost in unison.
The Innu of Labrador do not have a modern treaty that would allow them to take back control over their own lives. Is it the missing piece to solving long-rooted problems?
Labrador Innu leaders have filed a complaint with the Canadian Human Rights Commission, alleging that funding for education of Innu children in Labrador is far from adequate.
