CONT

Les Montagnais sont d'ailleurs conscients de ces différentes fonctions socio-culturelles que résume et véhicule la tradition orale. Ils distinguent en effet les «atanukan» des «tipatshimun». Les premiers sont considérés comme des récits mythiques. Quant aux «tipatshimun», ils traitent surtout des événements vécus et sont fondés la plupart du temps sur des témoignages oculaires de Montagnais à propos de certains faits.
