The Mushuau Innu First Nation is a First Nations band government located in the province of Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada.[2] The band has one reserve which has been located near the community of Natuashish since 2002 when it moved from Davis Inlet. The reserve has an area of roughly 44 square kilometres (11,000 acres).[1]
The Mushuau Innu and the Naskapi tribe were once the same people, speaking the same dialect and writing in syllabics, but split off and headed to Eastern Labrador, probably for sustainability reasons. Very few (if any) Mushuau Innu are able to write in syllabics any more. The majority of the tribe is Catholic and use the Montagnais Bible which does not use syllabics.
The chief of this First Nation is John Nui.[4][5] As of October 2019[update], the Nation has a registered population of 1072 people, of whom 991 live on-reserve.[6] The population of Natuashish at the 2021 Census performed by Statistics Canada was 856, down from 938 in 2016.[7]
