Kuei. Welcome to the Innu-aimun Language Resources website.
Innu-aimun.ca is an open-source, trilingual website where teachers, students, translators, linguists – and anyone interested in the Innu language – can access a wide range of resources in and about Innu.
Here you’ll find dictionaries, information about grammar and spelling, stories, lessons, new terminology, videos, apps, links to other resources, and much more.
This website is the culmination of many years of collaboration and partnerships and couldn’t exist without the hard work, dedication, and collaborative spirit of countless people and organizations. We are grateful for these partnerships and the important work they have inspired, and we hope they will continue to grow and strengthen in their shared goal of supporting the Innu language and culture.
A large number of projects and organizations have been instrumental in creating the resources found on this website and we gratefully acknowledge the contributions made by all of the following:
