House Hunting Or I've Never "Lived" In My House

begins by examining the relationship between the Innu and their reserve dwellings. It then presents an exploratory design exercise, the goal of which was to develop sustainable housing prototypes adapted to the Innu's present way of life. The exercise raised several interesting questions as to the persistence of tradition and the importance of place and territory in the design of dwellings. The Innu once pursued a nomadic lifestyle across the vast unsettled lands of northeastern Canada. 1 More recently, the Canadian government has tried to encourage them to settle in permanent communities. Toward this goal, one important initiative was the creation of autochthon reserves. 2 The reserves were designed to serve as a temporary alternative to the nomadic native way of life, a kind of transition phase before the total integration of the Innu into Canadian society. Created in 1954, the reserve of Unamen Shipu is located at a site (also commonly known as La Romaine) that the Innu had been occupying seasonally for thousands of years. Settling on the reserve meant the Innu could look forward to an easier life: permanent houses were built for the members of the community; local recipients of the Canadian government's welfare program began to receive monthly allowance checks; children weresent to school from September to July André Casault is a Professor of Architecture
