The
Hunting, Fishing and Trapping Coordinating Committee has been in
existence since 1976. It was created as part of the settlement of
the territorial claims of the James Bay Cree and the Inuit of Northern
Quebec following the decision of the Quebec Government to develop
the hydroelectric potential of James Bay in the 1970's. Negotiations
of those territorial claims culminated in the signing of the James
Bay and Northern Quebec Agreement (JBNQA) in November, 1975. The
Naskapi of Schefferville joined the Cree and Inuit as members of
the Coordinating Committee with the signing of the Northeastern
Quebec Agreement (NEQA) in January, 1978. The Coordinating Committee
was instituted according to the provisions of Chapter 24 of the
JBNQA.
