Innu Aimitau – Innu Conversation
This CD is an introduction to Innu conversation. It covers 21 different topics of everyday life interactions in the two Labrador Innu communities. From greetings to social gatherings, from school to hunting and trapping, each phrase is first given in English, then in French, and then in three Innu voices representing the two dialects from Sheshatshiu (Sheshatshiu-aimun) and Natuashish (Mushuau-aimun). Each word or phrase is repeated twice so that you can repeat it aloud along with the recording. You can turn off the English and French voices, by turning off one of the stereo speakers, in order to hear only Innu-aimun.
