Jean-Luc Kanapé, an Innu from Pessamit, guides us along the trail of the last herds of caribou on his community's ancestral territory. Having traded his role as a hunter for that of a caribou protector, he is committed to safeguarding the animal and its vast territory. Atiku, Guardian of the Land is an ode to the beauty of nature, to cultural transmission, and serves as a final reminder of the critical situation of the forest caribou in Quebec. It is also a tribute to this essential animal in Innu culture. Following the populations of Val-d’Or, Charlevoix, and Gaspésie, the Pipmuacan caribou will be the next to disappear if nothing changes.
