A Legacy to Live in
The article proposes a geopoetical analysis of the contemporary concept «sense of place» within the Innu Nation, as seen through the eyes of Naomi Fontaine in her novel Kuessipan / À toi and in her short story Puamun, le rêve. The spaces as seen and voiced by this young author are fourfold : one relates to the territory, Nitassinan and Nutshimit (tradition); another considers the city (escape); another travels the reserve, the Innu Assi (everyday life); and a final one presents the ideal world (imaginary). Those perceived territories interact between each other and integrate in a complex way the present and past of Innu culture.
