The choice and treatment of the problem end as follows:

I. Innu conception of the territory. Analysis of the Innu discourse on the territory in order to see how the Innu people of Quebec conceive for themselves their relationship to the land and the title they say they hold on the territory; examination of the mode of social and legal organization of the Innu, including the new social project put forward by a people ready to invent a new form of modernity.

II. Property rights and legal pluralism. Exploration of legal pluralism through the study of the origin and evolution of property, a concept at the heart of Western legal tradition, from feudal times to the present day; reflections on the relationship between the Innu right to belong to the land and the right to property, among other things, through the analysis of the dichotomies modern society-traditional society/written law-oral law; reflections on the question of the trap of words and on the need to initiate an intercultural dialogue leading to a reform of Canadian and Quebec law in the field of land.

III. Methodology. Recourse mainly to legal anthropology and the history of law. Examination of the Innu discourse on the territory and the work of Quebec anthropologists relating thereto; use of the work of French anthropologists and legal historians to study the relationship between Innu law and civil law in a context that takes into account the categories and logics specific to two legal traditions that are part of distinct historical and cultural universes .
