Kashtin were a Canadian folk rock duo in the 1980s and 1990s, one of the most commercially successful and famous musical groups in First Nations history.

[1] The band was formed in 1984 by Claude McKenzie and Florent Vollant, two Innu musicians from the Maliotenam reserve on the Saint Lawrence River in Quebec.

[7] They were soon invited to Montreal by producer Guy Trépanier to record,[7] and released their self-titled debut album in 1989.

In 1990, the band toured Europe and made commercial breakthroughs there, most notably becoming Top 10 stars in France after performing there as an opening act for Louis Chedid.

[12] In 1991, the band embarked on their first full cross-Canada tour in the spring and summer,[13] and released their second album, Innu, in the fall.
