"has had"

@Indefatigable: I changed "had" back to "has had" in § Literature because the sentence is about not just the language's exposure in popular culture during or just after the 1980's, but to its continuing exposure. See Perfect (grammar):

The perfect tense or aspect ... is a verb form that indicates that an action or circumstance occurred earlier than the time under consideration, often focusing attention on the resulting state rather than on the occurrence itself. An example of a perfect construction is I have made dinner: although this gives information about a prior action (my making the dinner), the focus is likely to be on the present consequences of that action (the fact that the dinner is now ready). The word perfect in this sense means "completed" (from Latin perfectum, which is the perfect passive participle of the verb perficere "to complete").

If such broad exposure is no longer the case, the text should be changed to specify the period referred to; e.g.,

During the 1980s and 1990s, Innu-aimun has had considerable exposure in the popular culture of Canada and France...

(Note: I have no idea of the facts of the case; "During the 1980s and 1990s" is just an value I made up for this example.)
