MONTREAL – For more than a century, the Moisie Salmon Club has been among the continent’s most exclusive fishing destinations, a 10-kilometre stretch of river reserved for its wealthy American members. Anglers reportedly pay annual dues running to six figures to fish the choice Moisie River pools and swap tales over fine food and wine in the lodge. The Innu claim the private club — known as the Adams Camp after its founder, Boston industrialist Ivers Adams — is on land taken from them, and they want it back. For the club, the Innu claim is another instalment in the long battle to protect a cherished stretch of the Moisie. Geoffrey Kelley, the Quebec minister responsible for native affairs, said the government takes the Innu claim “very seriously” and is working to set up a meeting with Innu leadership.
