Abstract

Through an ethnographic approach, characterized by a long and inductive fieldwork, the author of this thesis analyses the transformations faced by the Cree of James Bay (Northern Quebec) following the agreement called the "Peace of the Braves ". The latter, signed in 2002, approved the Eastmain-Rupert hydroelectric project and redefined the partnership between the Cree, the State, Hydro-Québec and various other economic actors. The research displays the multiple aspects of this redefinition, characterized by a renewed relationship between the Crees and their territory, which can be seen as the matrix of their identity. As much their involvement in the megaprojects of resource exploitation as the persistence of their animist ontology and their hunting practices are analyzed. Based on a meticulous and nuanced portrait of the inhabitants of Nemaska, the study also questions the global issues (ontological, social and economic) of territorial agreements and the consequences for Aboriginal people of their increasing integration in the neoliberal model of a globalized Canada.
