sources of meat including accessing moose from Newfoundland.
Innu from Québec indicate they have formed an Innu Nation
Counsel amongst their nine communities with access to caribou
for food security being the unifying subject bringing them together.
Discussion was held with respect to an invitation from government
to prepare a caribou management plan. It was agreed a plan be
prepared however contrary to contemporary plans this caribou
management plan will incorporate Native traditional values and
culture as a central theme for management decisions. It was agreed
that government be approached to ensure inclusion of UPCART
representatives to the proposed aerial survey of the George River
Caribou herd to be conducted in the summer of 2014.
At HFTCC meetings, Makivik pressed the Government of
Québec to close the sport hunt for the Leaf River Herd.
Additionally, Makivik expressed its deep disappointment
that the Québec minister reversed his earlier decision to
reduce the bag limit for sport hunters from two to one.
The sport hunt for the George River herd is currently
closed, and aerial survey results from 2014 indicate that
the George River herd has only 14,200 animals.
This year RDD staff were involved in the planning and
execution of the first comprehensive aerial survey of the
Torngat Mountain Herd that was carried out in May 2014.
Results showed the herd to number 900 caribou. Also,
RDD staff helped to develop a traditional knowledge
study of the Torngat Herd.

Makivik Executives, Adamie Delisle Alaku and Andy
Moorhouse, along with Gregor Gilbert, attended the
chasse au caribou imposée par le gouvernement de Terre-Neuveet-Labrador,
d’autant plus que les Innus du Labrador ont choisi de
continuer à mener une « chasse culturelle » d’environ 300 caribous.
Les Nunatsiavut explorent d’autres sources de viande, y compris
l’accès à l’orignal de Terre-Neuve. Les Innus du Québec ont quant
à eux formé le Conseil de la Nation innue regroupant leurs neuf
communautés unies sur le sujet de l’accès au caribou à des fins de
sécurité alimentaire. Des discussions ont eu lieu concernant une
invitation gourvernementale de préparer un plan de gestion du
caribou. Il a été convenu d’élaborer un plan qui, contrairement aux
plans antérieurs, intégrerait la culture et les valeurs traditionnelles
autochtones comme thème central devant guider les décisions
de gestion. Il a été convenu d’approcher le gouvernement dans le
