A Traditional Cree Expedition on the Ancestral Lands of the Neeposh Family of Northern Québec

Northern Québec features several great high-fl ow rivers, which makes this area prime for hydroelectric development. Hydro-Québec’s and the Société d’énergie de la Baie-James’s (SEBJ) construction of the Eastmain 1-A and Sarcelle generating stations and the diversion of the Rupert River would soon cause the fl ooding of an area northeast of the diversion point. Th is fl ooding, planned for November 2009, would submerge part of the trapping grounds used by generations of a Cree family, the Neeposh.
