Book Description
The Great Whale Hydro-Electric Project (James Bay II) has caused controversy not only in Canada but in the United States, especially New York and Vermont. The need to understand the Cree's struggle to oppose the devastation of their homeland is urgent. A Homeland for the Cree is an invaluable study of how the first James Bay project was negotiated between the Cree and the Quebec government. Richard Salisbury follows the negotiations which began in 1971 and analyses the changes to Cree society over a ten-year period in light of the regional development in James Bay.

Book Description
Like the light and the darkness of life, we all walk on both sides many times, taking our steps carefully and sometimes foolishly, where things may happen, either good, bad or both. I have walked in light and in darkness, and with those people who sometimes corrupted or enriched me. Nevertheless, they made me into the human being I am today. My Elder friends and teachers of times past have shared with me their great knowledge and wisdom. Sometimes I get hit with a thought, a revelation, into what they taught me while they were still in my life. I sometimes cry tears of happiness knowing in my heart that they taught me well, and have helped me to become a teacher like they once were to me. Life is a great mystery, but it evolves around you. You choose where to go, and sometimes find what you seek. Other times, it is not at all what you were expecting. The stories within this book are exciting, sad, mysterious, maddening, and may touch you right to the core of your heart and soul. Live with me for a little while and let's journey into the life of the ancestors and those who may have accompanied them....
