Abstract:
A Homeland for the Cree is an invaluable study of how the first James Bay project was negotiated between the Cree and the Quebec government. Richard Salisbury follows the negotiations which began in 1971 and analyses the changes to Cree society over a ten-year period in light of the regional development in James Bay.

Publisher Synopsis
"Salisbury attributes much of the change to the 1971 crisis over the proposed James Bay hydro project, which created regional unity and resulted in the James Bay and Northern Quebec Agreement. Salisbury sees the experience of the northern Quebec Cree as a possible model for development in other areas." P.T. Sherrill, Choice. "A look at the evolution of the contemporary ways in which anthropologists interact with indigenous communities in organizing communities to resist irrelevancy."
