The Ashkui Symposium: Knowledge, Culture and the Innu Landscape is scheduled for January 25, 2001 at Saint Mary's University, Halifax, Nova Scotia Canada.

This symposium brings together Innu elders and leaders, academic and government researchers who have been involved in the "Labrador project". The project is a multidisciplinary, collaborative study of the landscape of Nitassinan (Labrador) as known to the Innu. The objective is to use a variety of methods from Innu knowledge, science and social science to gain a broad understanding of the ecology of Labrador and its significance to the people who live there.

Sponsored by the Gorsebrook Research Institute, Innu Nation &, Environment Canada in conjunction with the meetings of the Canadian Polar Commission and in association with the Arctic Research Committee, Saint Mary's University & the Treaty and Aboriginal Rights Research Centre, Truro, NS.
