[edit]

Please verify: there could be a mistake between the Inuits (the one that speak an eskimo-aleut language) and the Innus (those who speak an algonquian language.) I read several myths of the latter and the Atshens were part of their mythology (like in Tshakapesh myth). --24.37.196.157 (talk) 02:02, 16 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

This is definitely correct, Atshen is an Innu legend and not an Inuit one (the "tsh" sound does not even exist in Inuktitut). See for instance http://classiques.uqac.ca/contemporains/vincent_sylvie/histoire_montagnaise/histoire_montagnaise_texte.html#_ftn2 Also, the link on this page is broken. It should be deleted. 104.163.151.47 (talk) 23:46, 15 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
