The Arctic Quebec Inuit whose James Bay Agreement struggle and Kativik self-governance made them the architects of the north's most ambitious regional autonomy.
Nunavik Inuit — the Inuit people of northern Quebec whose homeland stretches across the vast tundra and coastlines north of the 55th parallel bordering Hudson Bay, James Bay, and the Ungava Peninsula, a territory of breathtaking scale and ecological richness that the Quebec government sought to harness with the James Bay hydroelectric project of the 1970s, prompting the James Bay and Northern Quebec Agreement of 1975 that made the Nunavik Inuit among the first Indigenous peoples in Canada to negotiate a modern land claims settlement. Governed today through the Kativik Regional Government and Makivvik Corporation — whose mandate to invest land claims compensation for the social and economic benefit of Nunavik communities represents one of Canada's most innovative models of Indigenous development — the Nunavik Inuit are pursuing full regional self-government that would give Quebec's northernmost people control over their own affairs in one of the country's most resource-rich and climatically vulnerable territories.
