Algonquin First Nations face protracted conflict with Government of Canada
Updated December 2007

The Invisible Nation
"The harsh reality of the Algonquins must be exposed." "We can no longer ignore the Algonquins . . ." "This 5,000-year-old nation has been through many trials and is now fighting for its very survival" "Barely two centuries ago, the Algonquin occupied land that stretched from Laval to Val d'Or and over to Lake Huron. Like their ancestral way of life, this land has all but disappeared. The nation of 9,000 is now divided in Quebec into about 10 communities, their final refuge. The Algonquin have been forced into a sedentary lifestyle, often reduced to poverty and cut off from their traditions. The nation is slowly coming apart. The infant mortality rate is high. Younger children have lost their mother tongue and can no longer communicate in Algonquin with their grandparents." - - - - - - -
