After years of work and preparation, students will soon be fully immersed in Innu-aimun when they begin schoolThe Sheshatshiu Innu School will be offering Innu-aimun immersion to kindergarten students beginning in fall 2025.
Innu students heading into Kindergarten will now have the ability to be fully immersed in their own language, following years of work since Innu reclaimed jurisdiction over education in 2009.
Greg Quilty is the principal at Sheshatshiu Innu School.
Quilty said this is another large step for Mamu Tshishkutamashutau Innu Education’s dream of revitalizing the Innu-aimun language.
“They’re still going to learn those important skills, but they’re going to be learning them with speaking in the Innu language,” he said.
