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. The band was formed in 1984 by Claude McKenzie and Florent Vollant, two Innu from the Maliotenam reserve in northern Quebec. The name Kashtin means "tornado" in the Innu-aimun language, but was also chosen as a pun on the English language phrase "cashed in", in response to friends who alleged that the band was selling out.

- Kashtin mot signifiant Tornade en Innu-aimun, est le nom d'un duo country-folk québécois composé de Florent Vollant et Claude McKenzie. Originaires de la Maliotenam, les deux musiciens ont chanté leur coin de pays dans leur langue à travers la planète, pour faire connaitre leur attachement à la culture Innu. A la fin des années 80', leur chanson "E Uassiuian" ("Mon enfance") a fait le tour du monde. Depuis quelques années, les deux membres du groupe font carrière chacun de leur côté. Ils sont toujours en activité dans diverses communautés Innus. En 2009 Claude Mckenzie a lancé un nouveau CD Inniu, ce qui signifie Il naît en Innu.
