  • 2016-2017 Annual Report Cree Women of Eeyou Istchee Association
    P-208 2016-2017 ANNUAL REPORT CREE WOMEN OF EEYOU ISTCHEE ASSOCIATION Message from the President In the fiscal year 2016-2017, we found much reason to celebrate, especially as we moved forward boldly with our work towards being autonomous from the Cree Nation Government. The Cree Women of Eeyou Istchee Association (CWEIA) has a long history of responding to Eeyou Istchee’s greatest needs of life, healing, reflection and empowerment, and identity. Much has changed over time. Our efforts and initiatives have evolved from exclusively delivering lasting impacts through innovative projects that will not only empower people but also be imperative for Eeyou/Eenou people to return to our own customs, languages, and healing processes. This holds true especially for women and girls in allowing them to become agents of change within our communities. However, most of our work seeks long-term improvements in people’s lives by discovering what connects us to our ancestors and their experiences. CWEIA continues to strive for collective actions and a coordinated “voice” that advocates for active participation of women in the contemporary political life in Eeyou Istchee. CWEIA challenged the most fundamental law which was about to be adopted in Eeyou Istchee such as the Cree Governance Agreement and Constitution, which passed in May 30, 2017. We believed that the consultation process maintained the disempowerment of a women’s organization, where colonial impositions were embedded in the development. Before we can achieve self-government, our communities and nation need to be revitalized and our people have to be given an opportunity to grow and develop healthy lifestyles.

Its twofold purpose is to explore the connections between autonomy and wellbeing in Indigenous contexts through a case study in the Cree Nation of Chisasibi, Eeyou Istchee (James Bay, northern Quebec) and to elucidate the decolonizing research paradigm developed in collaboration with the community. This study shows that approaches to decolonization and healing are varied, transitional, relational and creative.

  • Key Milestones in the History of the Eeyou of Eeyou Istchee
    Key milestones in the history of the Eeyou of Eeyou Istchee: Year Title Description 1898 & 1912 The Quebec Boundaries The boundaries of Quebec were first extended north to the 52nd parallel by Canada. Extension Act In 1912, Quebec's boundaries were again extended, to Hudson Strait in the north and to Labrador in the east. The Cree, Inuit and Naskapi peoples inhabited these vast federal territories known as Rupert's Land. This Act, which established the province's current borders, carried certain obligations. The Quebec government was to reach an agreement with the Native communities on land-related issues. However, talks on these matters did not begin until 62 years later, after the Cree and Inuit of Quebec filed a motion to halt the James Bay hydro-electric development work begun in northern Quebec by the province. 1971 Quebec Premier On April 30, 1971, Premier Robert Bourassa of Quebec announces plans for the announces the James “project of the century” –a $6 billion hydroelectric power project in the James Bay Bay Hydroelectric region -the largest such development undertaken in North America. Project Eeyou/Eenou of Eeyou Istchee were not consulted by Quebec on this proposed mega project plan. The construction of the dams would flood major Eeyou/Eenou hunting territories within Eeyou Istchee. This would have an effect on Eeyou/Eenou traditional way of life. 1973 Judge Malouf orders On November 15, 1973, Judge Albert Malouf renders his historic decision in favour stoppage of work on the of Eeyou/Eenou of Eeyou Istchee (as well as the Inuit of Nunavik) and orders work James Bay on the James Bay Hydroelectric Development Project to stop on the basis of Eeyou Hydroelectric Project and Inuit rights.
