Penashue, an indigenous cultural and environmental activist in Canada, offers her diaries from 1987 to 2016, detailing her own life and reflections on Innu land, culture, politics, and history and her work against NATO. She became an activist during the NATO occupation of Innu land during the 1980s and 1990s, in which forces were allowed to test missiles and practice low-level flying of fighter jets; became a spokesperson for the Innu; was imprisoned for peaceful resistance; and testified at the Dutch Ministry of Defence and the International Court of Justice in The Hague. She began keeping a diary in Innu-aimun as a way of preparing herself for speeches, court appearances, and interviews, and her diaries have been translated into English here.
