Son of late Innu leader says Hydro-Québec does not have consent for Gull Island, wants work halted immediately

I was very upset,” said Jerome Jack, an Innu land defender and son of late Innu leader Bart Jack, who was instrumental in the Innu resistance to Muskrat Falls nearly a decade ago.
In early July, Innu Nation held meetings in Sheshatshiu and Natuashish and presented the agreement-in-principle to Innu.
It said any future road access will not be through the site, and that two “Innu land guardians” will be hired.
If Hydro-Québec is accessing Innu territory, she wants Innu Nation to be transparent on the hiring and selection process for the Innu guardians.
I do believe that they have no right to be stepping on Innu land without consent, the proper consent from the people,” he said.
