Jean-Luc Kanape expressed his longing for the caribou, stating, "I wanted people to be able to see what it looks like, because when I talk about the caribou, sometimes it's as if I'm talking about a ghost." This highlights the profound connection between the Innu people and the caribou, a connection now threatened by dwindling numbers due to environmental and bureaucratic challenges.
The conflict surrounding the remaining caribou population reflects broader issues of wildlife conservation in Canada, particularly as ecological threats evolve. With only about 200 woodland caribou left, the urgent need for protection has been underscored by escalating tensions between provincial and federal governments.
