Innu culture stems from the certainty that Man is part of the
universe, just like all other living species. In traditional
cultures, these include trees, rocks, insects, the wind, and
many other species. This well-structured universe is symbolized
by a cross-section of a tree with its countless striates, each
representing a “world”: human, animal, vegetable, mineral, wind,
etc. All are passed down from grandfather to grandson through
legends: “Carcajou”, “Mesh”, “The Summer Birds” and many others.
At the heart of these legends is the foundation narrative of
Tshakapesh, a hero who teaches us about the “dream world”, and
is the only person who can access all these other “worlds”. 2:38
