The cultural sub-area of South Labrador includes the two sub-regions of Southern Labrador and the Straits of Belle Isle in the Province of Newfoundland and Labrador, and that of the Lower North Shore in the Province of Québec. The three of them share in common a large number of cultural characteristics, among others: the origin of the population; a bilocal residence pattern and the practice of transhumance; an annual cycle of many economic activities such as fishing, hunting, trapping, wood cutting, etc; and a technology with many elements borrowed from Native people like the dogsled and the snowshoe. But the most important is their biological and cultural Euro-Inuit heritage that has been hidden in the past for fear of racist stigmatisation. In the last two decades, however, there has been an appreciation of the aboriginal heritage due to the publication of the review ‘Them Days’ and by the political activities of the Labrador Metis Association (now Labrador Metis Nation) and of the Alliance autochtone du Québec which are promoting the rights of the Euro-Inuit Métis of Labrador and Québec.
