Montagnais
Montagnais (meaning mountaineers in French) may refer to:
- A subdivision of the Innu people of Canada, and the people referred to in the Jesuit Relations. Note that the Innu are not Inuit.
- An alternative name for the Innu language
- Montagnais crater, off the coast of Nova Scotia
- The French speaking missionaries to the Northwest of the Red River Colony referred to the Dene Chipewyan people as Montagnais in their documents written in French. Montagnais (in French) therefore has often been mistakenly translated to Montagnais (in English) which now refers to the Montagnais (Innu language) of northern Quebec and not the Dene (Chipewyan people).
