About Mamu Tshishkutamashutau Innu Education

Mamu Tshishkutamashutau Innu Education (MTIE) proudly serves the Innu Nation in Labrador. There are two Innu schools in the communities Sheshatshiu and Natuaushish. MTIE Innu schools provide access to education that honours Innu language, traditions, and culture. Our logo depicts a MITSHIKUN. This is a traditional Innu tool used to clean hides. The mitshikun represents the strength, resourcefulness, determination and practicality of the Innu people. In 2009, Mamu Tshishkutamashutau Innu Education (MTIE) was founded to have jurisdiction over the education of Innu in Labrador in order to create First Nations schools and curriculums that honour and celebrate Innu culture, Innu traditions, and Innu-aimun (language). MTIE is governed by a board of trustees that is selected by the Chiefs and Councils of the Mushuau Innu in Natuashish and the Sheshatshiu Innu. The board of trustees and the administration of MTIE serve two schools, the Mushuau Innu Natuashish School, and the Sheshatshiu Innu School.
