  1. The language is indeed Montagnais (Innu-Aimun) an Algonquian language spoken in Labrador and Quebec in Canada.

    The poem appears on a mural I saw on a wall in the Latin Quarter of Montreal. It is a bilingual poem by Joséphine Bacon entitled “Bâtons à message / Tshissinuatshitakana.“. The French version is as follows:

    Le passage d’hier à demain devient aujourd’hui
    L’unique parole da ma sœur, la terre.
    Seul le tonnerre absout une vie vécue.
