Les Îlets-Jérémie (French pronunciation: [lez‿ilɛ ʒeʁemi]) is a settlement in the municipality of Colombier in the Côte-Nord region of the Canadian province of Quebec.
That year, Noël Jérémie was a clerk at the Tadoussac post, but he often went to the islands with his son Nicolas to conduct fur trade with the Innu of Betsiamites and vicinity.
Nicolas became an interpreter and clerk of the Hudson's Bay Company, and wrote Relation du Détroit de la Baie d'Hudson, published in 1720.
[4] French Jesuit Jean-Baptiste de la Brosse (1724–1782) taught the local Innu reading and writing skills in their own language.
Consequently, the Innu of Les Îlets-Jérémie adopted the Latin script and exhibited an unexpected degree of literacy in the 18th century.
