Résumé
Dans le cadre de cet article, la sous-aire culturelle du Labrador méridional comprend les régions du Sud-Labrador, du détroit de Belle-Isle et de la Basse-Côte-Nord du golfe du Saint-Laurent. Après avoir documenté la présence historique d’Inuit et de Métis euro-inuit dans cette région au XIXe siècle, l’héritage culturel inuit maintenu et transmis à cette période est exposé en huit thèmes: le mode de vie généraliste; le double habitat et la transhumance; le groupe résidentiel; la maison de tourbe; l’économie du phoque; l’économie commerciale; les moyens de transport; les vêtement et accessoires en peau de phoque. Cet héritage culturel inuit combiné à l’héritage amérindien et à l’héritage euro-canadien a contribué à façonner la culture métisse unique qui est celle du Labrador méridional.
Abstract
For this paper, the southern Labrador sub-cultural area includes the regions of the south Labrador coast, the Strait of Belle Isle, and the Lower North Shore of the Gulf of St. Lawrence. Following a presentation of the historical presence of Inuit and Euro-Inuit Métis in this region in the 19th century, the Inuit cultural heritage is presented under eight headings: generalist way of life; alternating habitats and transhumance; residential group; sod house; seal economy; market economy; means of transportation; and sealskin clothing and accessories. Combined with the Amerindian and Euro-Canadian heritages, this Inuit cultural heritage has contributed to the making of the unique Métis culture of southern Labrador.
