resources. Additional goals are to help tribes in planning, managing and developing their
energy and mineral resources. This includes coordinating with other agencies, councils and
commissions to help tribes in achieving the maximum income and employment return from
utilization of their mineral resources.

Approximately 16,000 Innu (formerly known as Montagnais or
Naskapi) inhabit Nitassinan (eastern Quebec and Labrador). They are based in 13 different
communities - Utshimassit, Sheshatshiu, Pakuashipi, La Romaine, Natashquan,
Mingan, Uashat, Maliotenam, Betsiamites, Les Escoumins, Mashteuiatsh,
Schefferville, and Kawawachikamach. The political realities of two provincial boundaries and the land
rights negotiation process have led to the creation of regional political organizations
which collectively represent the Innu people of Nitassinan.

Explore Colorado's rich and colorful mining past... and find
out what's happening in mining today at the Western Museum of Mining and Industry. The
museum's 27-acre site has four exhibit buildings, several outdoor displays and a picnic
