Popis: After two years we have been discussing the settlement of the claims put forward by the James Bay Cree and the Inuit of Northern Quebec. The media have talked about land and money. But what, in fact, is the real meaning of this Agreement? This is not just an Agreement dealing with territorial and financial issues that involve a population of 10,000 souls. This is not just an Agreement between a government and a group of persons forming a part of our society. This is an Agreement that foresees the rational organization of a territory of 410,000 square miles - with all that this objective implies.
