This guide primarily addresses the context of building partnerships both within and outside of Eeyou Istchee and recognizes the vital role that other Indigenous groups play in the context of the region. Our goal is to establish a model that effective two-way partnerships can be built around. In doing so, we aim to provide greater access to opportunities and development in all areas of the region. Introduction This guide has been developed to assist you in gaining a better understanding of the various aspects of partnerships and joint ventures. The best practice is always be informed. In this guide, we hope to provide you as much information as possible to assist you in advancing your partnership initiatives. It will provide you with some essential contacts and starting points for your development path. The guide is meant to be an information tool and in no way is it the final authority or a substitute for legal or professional advisers. PARTNERSHIP GUIDE SECRETARIAT 2018 5 There are many reasons to form a partnership When considering partnership, it will be essential to work together to develop a reliable model based on cross-cultural understanding, and proactive planning that sets the environment for a successful partnership or joint venture. We encourage you to reach out and make the calls and start the dialogue. As always, the Secretariat is here to assist you.

The JBNQA established foundation works in areas of self-government and would set new terms for the relationships that exist between the Cree, the Inuit, the Naskapi, and the Governments of Canada and Quebec. The JBNQA has broad implications, establishing land regimes that apply to the Cree, as well as including provisions in the areas of resource management, economic development, justice, health, social services, and the environment. The agreement also notably sets a framework for direct financial compensation to impacted parties when development occurs on traditional lands and also is a foundational work in the designation of category I, II, and III lands. An understanding of compensation and land category designations has potential implications for many different sectors of development. Resources The negotiations between Aboriginal peoples and Canada and Quebec are always evolving, it is important for partnerships to understand how these agreements may impact them. To learn more about the JBNQA and associated agreements, please refer to: 1) https://cngov.ca/resources/agreements/ 2) https://www.aadnc-aandc.gc.ca 3) https://www.canada.ca/en/indigenous-northern-affairs.html PARTNERSHIP GUIDE SECRETARIAT 2018 7 Paix des Braves “A New Relationship between the Cree Nation and the Government of Quebec” In February 2002, the Cree Nation of Eeyou Istchee and the Government of Quebec entered into an agreement entitled “A New Relationship between the Cree Nation and the Government of Quebec” better known as “La Paix des Braves” Agreement.

No approval is required from Québec or Canada. Because the constitution does not need to be approved federally or provincially, this means that the Cree Nation can amend their Constitution in the future, without the participation of Canada. The Governance Agreement, The Cree Constitution, and the Cree laws adopted pursuant to them will have the force of law. Together, they represent another step in implementing Cree self-governance in compliance with the JBNQA. They will provide the Cree First Nations and the Cree Nation Government with essential tools to assume greater autonomy and responsibility in the governance of Cree Category IA lands.

  • Decontie Remembering Why We Sit at the Table.Docx
    Remembering Why We Sit at the Table By Faith Decontie Hons, B.A., A thesis submitted to the faculty of Graduate Studies and Research in partial fulfillment of the requirement for the degree of Masters of Arts Department of Sociology and Anthropology Carleton University, Ottawa, Ontario April, 2017 © 2017 Faith Decontie DEDICATION To all the uhkumimaauch | kokoms and umushumimaauch | shomis (grandmothers and grandfathers) who will one day become our ancestors. Pauline Cote-Decontie 1942- 2016 2 ABSTRACT Québec has been the site of the development of First Nations health determinants within the context of forced systemic racism within the Canadian mainstream medical healthcare system. The Cree Nation of Chisasibi has created alternative administrative health approaches and wellness practices through their Land Based Healing Program that addresses delivery service gaps in the current medical healthcare system. In this thesis, I examine the historical development of healthcare systems for English-speaking First Nations living in Québec, while analysing how political legislation through the James Bay Northern Québec Agreement has transformed the Eeyou into practicing autonomous action towards health operations and wellness approaches. I analyse the importance of Eeyou teachings and healing methodologies practiced within the Land Based Program that are vital to providing optimal First Nations health and wellness in a way that the current mainstream medical healthcare systems cannot. [keywords: systemic racism, healthcare systems and land based healing] 3 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I want to sincerely thank the Cree Nation of Chisasibi who have allowed me to learn from their communi ty and lands. The Cree Nation of Chisasibi Chief and Council, the Chisasibi Mental Wellness Team (CMWT), Larry House, Eddie Pashagumskum and the hunting families.
