He is one of the last to pass on the Atanukana, the founding stories of Innu culture that carry a thousand years of knowledge. Today, he is one of the few keepers of these traditional stories that his father and grandfather told before him. To ensure their preservation and allow future Innu generations to have access to these traditional tales, Nikan Heritage has captured a complete repertoire of Atanukana, all told in Nutshimit Innu-Aimun by Charles-Api.<\/p><p>Preserving the stories in a format close to the oral tradition from which they originate ensures not only the preservation, documentation, and dissemination of Nutshimit Innu-Aimun* but also that of a broader cultural heritage. To facilitate access to this traditional knowledge and the learning of Innu-Aimun, we also provide transcriptions and translations of these tales.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a868b7b elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"a868b7b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><em>*Changes in lifestyles have led to changes in Indigenous languages. The vocabulary used in communities is no longer the same as that used in the past in the territory. Charles-Api Bellefleur carries within him very ancient words, those of Nutshimit.
