Living in Northern Quebec
Quebec’s North is home to First Nations and Inuit communities, who are claiming rights to sustainable living environments respectful of their culture and their land. This page presents projects orchestrated by Living in Northern Quebec (SSHRC) & Doing Things Differently (Sentinel North) investigators and partners in collaboration with Innu and Inuit communities, in order to support their planning and housing needs and their world views.
