La Romaine

La Romaine is an Innu community located at the mouth of the Olomane River on the Gulf of Saint Lawrence coast. It consists of residential areas, schools, and essential facilities that serve the daily needs of the inhabitants.

French traders established a fishing and fur trading post in the early 18th century at this location. The Hudson's Bay Company later took over operations, which shaped the area's development before it became the modern Innu community.

The Innu community speaks Montagnais in daily life and preserves this language through local education. The way people communicate reflects their connection to the land and their ancestors.

The settlement connects to the outside world by air and sea transportation, with regular services available. Visitors should know that the location is remote and offers basic services including a nursing station and police presence.

The community sits directly on the Olomane River where traditional fishing remains part of people's lives. This proximity to water and natural resources continues to shape daily life in meaningful ways.
