Innu chief mulls legal action after caribou meat seized


The grand chief of the Innu Nation says it wasn't right for Quebec wildlife officers to seize caribou given as a gift between Indigenous governments in Quebec and Labrador — and he's considering legal action. "The game wardens came and stopped us," Rich told CBC Radio's Labrador Morning. He said he met with Chief Davey Bobbish, who gave him a letter supporting the Innu Nation in taking the caribou to Labrador. Rich says the harvested caribou was given to the Innu Nation of Labrador as a gift but wildlife officers did not accept that and seized it. He said the Innu Nation is talking to lawyers and is considering pursuing legal action over the seizure.
