Eeyou Istchee

Eeyou Istchee is a region in northern Quebec that encompasses the traditional territory of the Cree Nation, known as the Cree's "Land of the People." It reflects a collaborative governance arrangement between the Cree communities and the Quebec government, allowing the Cree to have control over local land use, resources, and decision-making. This partnership recognizes the Cree's rights and their connection to the land, fostering self-governance while supporting economic development and cultural preservation within the region.
