Formerly known as the Montagnais, the Innu were traditionally nomadic. They travelled seasonally throughout their vast region of Nistassinan, comprising most of Northeastern Québec and Labrador, in search of caribou and other resources. Innu women made intricate dolls from caribou hides and scraps of cloth, which they filled with about two pounds of loose tea, ensuring that even children carried their share of the load. Today, the Innu make tea dolls, not as toys, but as craft items for sale.
