Power from the North
In the 1970s, Hydro-Qu?bec declared “We Are Hydro-Qu?b?cois.” The slogan symbolized the intimate ties that had emerged between hydroelectric development in the North and French Canadian aspirations in the South. Caroline Desbiens focuses on the first phase of the James Bay hydroelectric project to explore how this culture of hydroelectricity hastened the erasure of Aboriginal homelands and the manipulation of Northern Quebec’s material landscape. She concludes that truly sustainable resource development will depend on all actors bringing an awareness of their cultural histories and visions of nature, North, and nation to the negotiating table.

Les récits de notre terre. Les Algonquins
Les Algonquins, ou Anishinabeg dans leur langue, forment aujourd’hui une population de plus de 10 000 personnes réparties principalement en dix communautés en Outaouais et en Abitibi-Témiscamingue. Chasseurs, piégeurs, pêcheurs, cueilleurs par tradition, comme pour les autres habitants des forêts boréale ou laurentienne du Québec, leurs expertises issues de pratiques ancestrales se sont très vite manifestées dans de nombreux autres domaines, tels la foresterie, l’acériculture, l’agriculture, l’élevage et le tourisme. Leurs récits, qui sont autant d’échos du passé dans la modernité, reflètent leur culture bigarrée au confluent d’influences diverses, surtout algonquiennes, mais également iroquoiennes et euro-canadiennes.
Cultural Change among the Algonquin in the Nineteenth Century
The nineteenth century was a time of upheaval for the Algonquin people. As they came into more sustained contact with fur traders, missionaries, settlers, and other outside agents, their ways of life were disrupted and forever changed.

Cultural Change among the Algonquin in the Nineteenth Century traces the history of settler-Indigenous encounter in two areas around the modern Ontario-Quebec border, in the period after colonial incursion but before the full effects of the I...
