Description
Since 2009, a major hydroelectric project on the Romaine River, located in the heart of the Nitassinan, Innus’ ancestral territory, and the regional county municipality (RCM) of Minganie on Québec’s North Shore region, has reshaped the relationships between the Innu and non-Innu and their territory. Given the magnitude of the project, a broader analysis of its economic and environmental impacts has been conducted mainly by Hydro-Québec and other government bodies. However, the intercultural incidences of such project were not anticipated nor included in the project planning phase, which has impeded its maximization of the regional economic spinoffs.
